Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice: this by a prosopopoeia is spoken in the person of the church, wherein she doth thankfully acknowledge God’ s kindness to her in the forementioned promise, expressed here in the greatness of her affection, with reference both to her present deliverance from Babylon, and to the happiness of her gospel state. In the Lord; or, because of the Lord, or of the goodness of the Lord towards me; a usual form of gratulation, : or thus, I will not rejoice so much in my deliverance as in the Lord. My soul shall be joyful in my God: this clause is to the same purpose, save only she varies the expression: q.d. Yea, I do it with my whole soul. With the garments of salvation; with salvation as with a garment; so in the next with righteousness as with a robe. The meaning is, The salvation that God will work for me will render me as beautiful and considerable as they are that are clothed with the richest garments, as bridegrooms usually are, and brides with their jewels, or as venerable as kings in their princely robes; my sackcloth will now be turned into robes; or, I shall be compassed about with glory, as garments do compass the body. With the robe of righteousness, i.e. either with the fruits and effects of his love and many favours to the church, in which sense righteousness is taken, ,4,9, compared with ,8; she should see the righteousness of God in fulfilling all these promises. Or that righteousness of Christ imputed to us, which we are said to put on, ; or those graces imparted to us, and acted in a holy life.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 61:10
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.Ver. 10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord.] Me beatam! quare dolerem? Oh happy am I, said the Church; why should I be troubled at ought: why should not I over abounding exceedingly with joy who have such rich and precious promises? gaudium in re, gaudium in spe; gaudium de possessione, gaudium de promissione, &c. - i.e., Joy in hope and joy in hand, joy in possession and joy in reversion, &c., as Bernard sweetly. When once a soul enjoyeth God, it is quiet, as a bee that is got into her hive, or a bird got into her nest, or the dove into the ark; nay, it is triumphant, as "more than a conqueror." For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation.] By salvation and righteousness, Jerome here understandeth Christ our Saviour and Justifier, whom we are bidden also to put on. As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments.] Tanquam sponsum qui sacerdotem refert ornatu, so Piscator rendereth it: as a bridegroom bravely arrayed; like a priest, os humerosque Deo similis. And as a bride adorneth herself with jewels.] Mundo suo, With her ornaments, habiliments. Heb., Implements. The Church is here compared to a bridegroom for her strength and constancy, saith Cyril; and again, to a bride for her fruitfulness, beauty, and glory, here begun, and hereafter to be perfected. There is in this verse a double elegance in the Hebrew that cannot be translated. Iερατευμενοςστεφανω. - Aquila.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 61:10
(10) I will greatly rejoice . . .—The speaker is again, as in Isaiah 61:1, the ideal Servant of Jehovah, who identifies himself with the people and slaves. The Targum, it may be noted, makes Jerusalem the speaker. The garments of salvation . . .—The imagery is the same as that of Isa 59:17 and Isaiah 61:3, its entirely spiritual significance being, perhaps, still more strongly accentuated. As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments.—Literally, wears a turban (or mitre), as a priest. It would appear from Song Son 3:11 that bridegrooms wore a special head-dress on the day of their espousal, and this is here compared to the priestly “bonnet,” or “mitre” (Exodus 28:4; Exodus 39:28; Ezekiel 44:18). On the special occasion which may have suggested the image, see Note on Isaiah 62:4.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 61:10
Verse 10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord] These may be the words of the Jews now converted, and brought into the Church of Christ, and with the Gentiles made fellow heirs of the blessings of the new covenant. As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments - "As the bridegroom decketh himself with a priestly crown"] An allusion to the magnificent dress of the high priest, when performing his functions; and particularly to the mitre, and crown or plate of gold on the front of it, Exodus 29:6. The bonnet or mitre of the priests also was made, as Moses expresses it, "for glory and for beauty," Exodus 28:40. It is difficult to give its full force to the prophet's metaphor in another language. The version of Aquila and Symmachus comes nearest to it: ὡςνυμφιονἱερατευομενονστεφανῳ· "as a bridegroom decked with a priestly crown." - L.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 61:10
10. According to the Targum and some critics the speaker here is the Zion of the future; while Delitzsch and others, who assign the preceding words to the Servant of Jehovah, suppose that he is still the speaker. If the prophet is the speaker he transports himself to a future standpoint, and there is no reason why he should not at the same time become the mouthpiece of the redeemed community. Duhm and Cheyne agree in thinking that the verse stands out of its proper position and interrupts the connexion of Isa 61:9 with Isaiah 61:11. garments of salvation &c.] Cf. ch. Isaiah 59:17; Psalms 132:9; Psalms 132:16. salvation and righteousness are, as often, synonymous. as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments] R.V. “with a garland” (as Isaiah 61:3). The last word denotes a headdress worn by priests (Exodus 39:28; Ezekiel 24:17; Ezekiel 44:18), by fashionable ladies (ch. Isaiah 3:20), and (according to this passage) by a bridegroom. The verb for “decketh himself” means to officiate as a priest (Hosea 4:6, &c.), and its use here, (“maketh his headdress priestly,”) is so peculiar as to be-suspicious. and as a bride &c.] Better, and like a bride that putteth on her jewels (as Genesis 24:53) or her attire (as Deuteronomy 22:5).
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 61:10
I wilt greatly rejoice in the Lord - This is the language of the prophet in the name of the church; or, as Vitringa supposes, the language of a chorus introduced here by the prophet.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 61:10
10. I will greatly rejoice — The Servant of Jehovah, or Messiah, is again the speaker. To him the calling — that of bringing messages of salvation to Jehovah’s people — is a joyful one.
