Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the mute shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

More Than Physical Healing
Commentators agree this verse was literally fulfilled in Jesus's miracles, where He healed the lame and enabled the mute to speak. However, they stress these physical acts were signs pointing to a deeper spiritual reality. The ultimate miracle is how Christ's grace empowers the spiritually weak ('lame') to walk in holiness and gives a voice of praise ('sing') to those previously silent before God.
