Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Thou art my Servant, O Israel. That the literal "Israel," is not intended appears plainly from ver. 5. The Servant himself is addressed as "Israel," because he "would stand as a new federal head to the nation" (Kay), which would be summed up in him, and also because he would be, in a truer sense than any other, an "Israel," or "Prince with God." In whom I will be glorified (comp. John 13:31, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him"). He who is "the Brightness of the Father's glory" sets forth that glory before men, and causes them to glorify him, both with their tongues and in their lives.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Thou art my servant, O Israel.--Not that the "Servant" is merely the nation, but that he fulfils its ideal. "Israel" had begun with being an individual name. It should be so once more in the person of Him who would be truly "a prince with God."In whom I will be glorified.--Better, in whom I will glorify myself. The words find a conscious echo in John 13:31-32; John 17:1-5.
