In the context of Isaiah, it follows a prophecy of salvation and deliverance. The act of crying out and singing is a common biblical expression of praise, seen in other scriptures such as <a href="/psalms/98-4.htm">Psalm 98:4</a> and <a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15:1</a>, where the Israelites sang after crossing the Red Sea. It signifies a communal expression of faith and acknowledgment of God's mighty works.<p><b>O citizen of Zion</b><br>Zion refers to Jerusalem, the city of David, and by extension, the people of Israel. It is often used symbolically to represent God's chosen people and His dwelling place. The term "citizen" implies belonging and identity, emphasizing the relationship between God and His people. Zion holds a significant place in biblical prophecy and eschatology, often seen as the center of God's redemptive plan (<a href="/psalms/132-13.htm">Psalm 132:13-14</a>, <a href="/revelation/14.htm">Revelation 14:1</a>).<p><b>for great among you</b><br>This phrase highlights the presence and majesty of God among His people. It echoes the covenant promise that God would dwell with Israel (<a href="/exodus/29-45.htm">Exodus 29:45-46</a>). The greatness of God is a recurring theme in scripture, emphasizing His power, sovereignty, and faithfulness. It reassures the people of God's active involvement in their lives and His ability to fulfill His promises.<p><b>is the Holy One of Israel</b><br>The title "Holy One of Israel" is a distinctive name for God used frequently in Isaiah, underscoring His uniqueness, purity, and separateness from all creation. It reflects God's covenant relationship with Israel and His role as their Redeemer and Protector. This title also points to the coming of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to Israel, embodying holiness and bringing salvation (<a href="/luke/1-35.htm">Luke 1:35</a>, <a href="/acts/3-14.htm">Acts 3:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/c/citizen_of_zion.htm">Citizen of Zion</a></b><br>Refers to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the city of God, representing the people of Israel and, by extension, the people of God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/z/zion.htm">Zion</a></b><br>A term often used to describe Jerusalem, the spiritual center of Israel, symbolizing God's presence and His covenant with His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_holy_one_of_israel.htm">The Holy One of Israel</a></b><br>A title for God, emphasizing His holiness, uniqueness, and covenant relationship with Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joyful_worship.htm">Joyful Worship</a></b><br>The call to "cry out and sing" emphasizes the importance of joyful worship in response to God's presence and greatness.
