Gill's Notes on the Bible
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,.... This is not to be interpreted of the proclamation by Cyrus, giving liberty to the people of the Jews to return to their own land, for that did not reach to the end of the world; but of the proclamation of the Gospel, which, as when first published, the sound of it went into all the earth, and the words of it to the ends of the world, Romans 10:18. So it will be in the latter day, when it shall be preached to all nations, from one end of the world to the other, Revelation 14:6:
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, behold, thy salvation cometh; or "thy Saviour" l, or "thy Redeemer", as the Targum, Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions; and which is to be understood not of his first coming, or of his incarnation, though that is sometimes foretold in much such language, Zechariah 9:9 and the same things are said of him with respect to that, as follows: "behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him"; Zechariah 9:9- :, but of his spiritual coming, of which notice is given to the church, the congregation of Zion, as the Targum renders it: who will come in a spiritual manner, and do a great work in the world; destroy antichrist; convert Jews and Gentiles; take to himself his great power and reign; and give a reward to his servants the prophets, his saints, and them that fear his name, 2 Thessalonians 2:8. The Targum is,
"behold, a reward to them that do his word is with him, and all their works are manifest before him.''
The word behold is three times used in this verse, to raise attention to what is said, and as pointing out something wonderful, and to express the certainty of it.
l ישעך "tuus Salvator", V. L. Munster, Tigurine version.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Behold the Lord hath proclaimed - Proclamation is made to all nations that Yahweh is about to come and rescue his people.
Say ye to the daughter of Zion - To Jerusalem (see the notes at Isaiah 1:8).
Thy salvation cometh - Lowth renders this, ‘Lo!, thy Saviour cometh.’ So the Vulgate, the Septuagint, the Chaldee, and the Syriac. The Hebrew word properly means salvation, but the reference is to God as the Deliverer or Saviour. The immediate allusion is probably to the return from Babylon, but the remote and more important reference is to the coming of the Redeemer (see the notes at Isaiah 40:1-10).
Behold, his reward is with him - See these words explained in the notes at Isaiah 40:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 62:11. Unto the end of the world — אל קצה הארץ el ketseh haarets - Instead of אל el, to, עד ad, UNTO, is the reading of two of Kennicott's MSS.; and one of mine has מקצה mikketseh, "FROM the end of the earth."
Behold, thy salvation cometh - "Lo, thy Saviour cometh"] So all the ancient Versions render the word ישעך yishech.
Behold, his reward — Isaiah 40:10; "Isaiah 40:11". This reward he carries as it were in his hand. His work is before him - he perfectly knows what is to be done; and is perfectly able to do it. He will do what God should do, and what man cannot do; and men should be workers with him. Let no man fear that the promise shall not be fulfilled on account of its difficulty, its greatness, the hinderances in the way, or the unworthiness of the person to whom it is made. It is God's work; he is able to do it, and as willing as he is able.
