Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - I girded thee. As God "loosed the loins" of Cyrus's adversaries (ver. 1), to weaken them, so he "girded" those of Cyrus, to give him strength (comp. Psalm 18:32).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) There is no God beside me.--Commonly, the formula is used in antithesis to polytheism. Possibly we may think of it here as in contrast with the dualism of Persia, or, if that be assigned to a later date, of Babylonia.I girded thee.--The opposite of the "loosing," or "ungirding," of Isaiah 45:1, and so implying the idea of giving strength.
