Matthew Henry on Isaiah 41:9
They are God's servants, and he will not see them abused, especially for what they do in his service: Thou art my servant (v. 8), and (v. 9) "I have said unto thee, Thou art my servant; and I will not go back from my word." 2. He has chosen them to be a peculiar people to himself. They were not forced upon him, but of his own good-will he set them apart. 3.
