Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 30:29

A song — You shall have songs of praise. The night — He seems to have a particular respect to the solemnity of the passover, in which they spent some considerable part of the night in rejoicing, and singing psalms before the Lord. As when — Like the joy of one that is going up to the solemn feasts with musick.
