10 I will arejoice greatly in the Lord,

My soul will exult in bmy God;

For He has cclothed me with garments of salvation,

He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,

And das a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 For as the aearth brings forth its sprouts,

And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,

So the Lord 1God will bcause crighteousness and praise

To spring up before all the nations.

Chapter 62

Zion’s Glory and New Name

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,

Until her arighteousness goes forth like brightness,

And her bsalvation like a torch that is burning.

2 The anations will see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory;

And you will be called by a new bname

Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.

3 You will also be a acrown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,

And a royal 1diadem in the hand of your God.

4 It will no longer be said to you, “1aForsaken,”

Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “2Desolate”;

But you will be called, “3My delight is in her,”

And your land, “4bMarried”;

For the cLord delights in you,

And to Him your land will be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,

So your sons will marry you;

And as the 1bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

So your aGod will rejoice over you.

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed awatchmen;

All day and all night they will never keep silent.

You who bremind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;

7 And agive Him no rest until He establishes

And makes bJerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 aThe Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,

“I will bnever again give your grain as food for your enemies;

Nor will 1foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

9 But those who agarner it will eat it and praise the Lord;

And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, ago through the gates,

Clear the way 1for the people;

bBuild up, build up the chighway,

Remove the stones, lift up a dstandard over the peoples.

11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the aend of the earth,

bSay to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your csalvation comes;

dBehold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”

12 And they will call them, “aThe holy people,

The bredeemed of the Lord”;

And you will be called, “Sought out, a city cnot forsaken.”

Chapter 63

God’s Vengeance on the Nations

1 Who is this who comes from aEdom,

With bgarments of 1glowing colors from cBozrah,

This One who is majestic in His apparel,

2Marching in the greatness of His strength?

“It is I who speak in righteousness, dmighty to save.”

2 Why is Your apparel red,

And Your garments like the one who atreads in the wine press?

3 “aI have trodden the wine trough alone,

And from the peoples there was no man with Me.

I also btrod them in My anger

And ctrampled them in My wrath;

And dtheir 1lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,

And I 2stained all My raiment.

4 “For the aday of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

5 “I looked, and there was ano one to help,

And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;

So My bown arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath upheld Me.

6 “I atrod down the peoples in My anger

And made them bdrunk in My wrath,

And I 1poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

7 I shall make mention of the alovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord,

According to all that the Lord has granted us,

And the great bgoodness toward the house of Israel,

Which He has granted them according to His ccompassion

And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

8 For He said, “Surely, they are aMy people,

Sons who will not deal falsely.”

So He became their bSavior.

9 In all their affliction 1aHe was afflicted,

And the bangel of His presence saved them;

In His clove and in His mercy He dredeemed them,

And He elifted them and carried them all the days of old.
