What does Isaiah 60:13 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
13. glory--that is, the trees which adorned Lebanon; emblem of men eminent in natural gifts, devoting all that is in them to the God of Israel (Ho 14:5, 6). fir ... pine ... box--rather, "the cypress ... ilex ... cedar." place of my sanctuary--Jerusalem (Jr 3:17). place of my feet--no longer the ark (Jr 3:16), "the footstool" of Jehovah (Psa 99:5; 132:7; 1Ch 28:2); but "the place of His throne, the place of the soles of His feet, where He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever," in the new temple (Eze 43:7).

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 13 And I will make the place of my feet glorious "And that I may glorify the place whereon I rest my feet" - The temple of Jerusalem was called the house of God, and the place of his rest or residence. The visible symbolical appearance of God, called by the Jews the schechinah, was in the most holy place, between the wings of the cherubim, above the ark. This is considered as the throne of God, presiding as King over the Jewish state; and as a footstool is a necessary appendage to a throne, (see note on Isa 52:2 (note)), the ark is considered as the footstool of God, and is so called, Psa 99:6; 1Chr 28:2. The glory of Lebanon - That is, the cedar.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 60:9-14

God will be very gracious. We must begin with his promise, thence all mercies take rise. Many shall be brought into the church, even from far countries. Christ is always ready to receive all who come to him; and the gate of mercy is always open, night and day. All that are about the church shall be made serviceable to it.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
The glory.That is, the cedar; and as the choice timber of Lebanon beautified Solomon's temple, that footstool of Jehovah; so shall the peculiar advantages of every nation, and of every description of men, concur to beautify the church of Christ, which He has determined to make glorious. The language then becomes more energetic, and the images employed more grand and magnificent; and nothing can answer to the glorious description but some future exalted state of the church on earth, or the church triumphant in heaven; though several expressions seem to limit it to the church below.
35:2; 41:19,20; 55:13; Ho 14:6,7
to beautify.
Ezr 7:27
the place.
