Messiah exhorts the godly after His example (Isa 49:4, 5; 42:4) when in circumstances of trial ("darkness," Isa 47:5), to trust in the arm of Jehovah alone. Who is, &c.--that is, Whosoever (Jud 7:3). obeyeth . . . servant--namely, Messiah.

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

In darkness - Not in sin, but in misery, that lives in a disconsolate and calamitous condition. Trust - Let him fix his faith and hope in the mercy, and faithfulness, of the Lord, declared in his word, and in his interest in God, who by the mediation of this servant is reconciled to him and made his God.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

They then tremble at his word ( ch. lxvi. 2 ) and are afraid of his judgments, Ps. cxix. He is one that obeys the voice of God's servant, is willing to be ruled by the Lord Jesus, as God's servant in the great work of man's redemption, one that yields a sincere obedience to the law of Christ and cheerfully comes up to the terms of his covenant.
