Commentary

This verse is probably the high point of grace in the OT. In spite of Israel's utter unworthiness, the Lord in His grace has devised a way that He can forgive their sins and grant righteousness (see note on 61:10), without compromising His holiness. This He would accomplish through the work of His Servant (53:6).

"For My own sake" underscores the exclusion of human merit as a factor in salvation. Cf. also Jer. 31:34
