Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. We are extorted to give glory to God, to give him the glory due to his name. The invitation is very pressing: praise you the Lord, and again and again, Praise him, praise him; blessed be his name, for it is to be praised,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This, therefore, may be applied to the gospel-church among the Gentiles (the building of which is illustrated by this similitude, Isa. liv. 1 , Sing, O barren! thou that didst not bear, and Gal. iv. 27 ), for which we, who, being sinners of the Gentiles, are children of the desolate, have reason to say, Praise you the Lord.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

On this special case, compare 1Sa 2:21. Barrenness was regarded as a disgrace, and is a type of a deserted Church (Isa 54:1). the barren woman . . . house--literally, "the barren of the house," so that the supplied words may be omitted.
