📚 Historical Context

This verse comes from Isaiah's prophecy about God's judgment on the earth, but here he shifts to describe a remnant of faithful people who will praise God even in dark times. The 'sea' likely refers to distant lands and islands in the Mediterranean, suggesting that worship of the true God will spread beyond Israel to the gentile nations.
