Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 30:29

Ye shall have a song,.... That is, the Jews should have a song, and sing it upon the ruin of the Assyrian army; as the Israelites had, when Pharaoh and his host were drowned in the Red Sea; and so

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 30:29

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 30:29

Ye shall have a song; you shall have occasion of great joy and songs of praise for your stupendous deliverance from that formidable enemy. Are in the night when a holy solemnity is kept: he mentions the night, either because the Jewish feasts begun at the evening, and were celebrated with great joy in part of the night season, as well as on the following day; or because he hath a particular respect to the solemnity of the passover, in which they spent some considerable part of the night in feasting, and rejoicing, and singing of psalms and songs before the Lord. As when one goeth with a pipe; like the joy of one that is going up to the solemn feasts with music, and the voice of joy and praise, as they used to do, , to cheer up themselves in the way, which to many of them was long, and would otherwise have been tedious.

Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 30:29

Isaiah 30:29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.Ver. 29. He shall have a song.] As, after the passover eaten, they sang a hynm; so, after the Assyrian destroyed, there shall be a different sound heard in their several camps. Apud utrosque audietur sonus, et strepitus, sed diversa admodum ratione: so was fulfilled that of our prophet. As in the night when a holy solemnity is kept.] Pintus saith, that the night before some solemn sacrifice, the Jews usually spent in jollity and singing. They still conclude their Sabbath with singing, or caterwauling rather, which they continue as long as they can, for ease of the defunct souls. Any hideous, discordant howling noise.

Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 30:29

(29) Ye shall have a song . . .—The “holy solemnity,” or feast, was probably the Feast of Tabernacles, the feast of in-gathering, of all the festivals of the Jewish year the most abounding in its joy. In later times, and probably, therefore, in earlier, it had a night-ritual of special solemnity, the court of the Temple being illuminated with a great candelabrum. It was known as being pre-eminently “the feast” (1 Kings 8:2; 1 Kings 8:65; 1 Kings 12:32; Ezekiel 45:25; 2 Chronicles 7:8-9). The second clause of the verse completes the picture, by introducing the day-ritual of the procession of pilgrims from the country, bringing their firstfruits and playing on their flutes. (Comp. 1 Samuel 10:5.) The mighty One of Israel.—Literally, the Rock of Israel, as a name of Jehovah (Isaiah 17:10; Deuteronomy 32:4, et al.).

Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 30:29

29–32. Songs of rejoicing arise within the city, while the Assyrians are slaughtered under its walls.

Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 30:29

Ye shall have a song - That is, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem shall rejoice when the army of the Assyrian is destroyed.

Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 30:29

29. Ye shall have a song — The “song,” as indicated by the emphatic article in Hebrew. It shall commemorate divine deliverances as does the song at the holy passover solemnities.
