From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Every one that is called by my name -To be called by the name of anyone, is synonymous with being regarded as his son, since a son bears the name of his father (seeIsaiah 44:5;Isaiah 48:1). The expression, therefore, means here, all who were regarded as the children of God; and the promise is, that all such should be re-gathered to their own land. For I have created him -(See the note atIsaiah 43:1). For my glory -In order to show forth, and illustrate my glory. They shall be, therefore, defended and protected; and my glory shall be shown in their recovery and salvation.
