Thy God reigneth. This is the explanation of הנני behold, it is I.

“How welcome on the mountain are the footsteps, etc.” [52:7]. How very nice will be the feet that will walk on the high mountains to tell the good news that there will be peace and that the Messiah will come and the Holy One will be King over Zion. The nations previously ruled over Zion when it was in exile, but in the days of the Messiah the whole world will say that God is King over Zion.
