Isaiah 61:10

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 61:10-11

Wise exultation. I. OUR CAPACITY OF EXULTATION . Our human spirit is capable of great emotion. Our feeling may sink to great depths of sorrow, or may rise to great heights of joy. We have no language which will express the degrees of spiritual distress and agony which are possible to the stricken and despairing, or which will measure the degrees of joy and ecstasy possible to the blessed and the victorious. II. OUR TEMPTATION in this matter. The warning of the prophet of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 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. The Chaldee regards it as the language of Jerusalem, and renders it, ‘Jerusalem said, I will surely rejoice in the Lord.’ The sentiment is, that the prosperity and enlargement of Zion is an occasion of joy, and should lead to thanksgiving and praise. The phrase, ‘I will rejoice in the Lord,’ means that the joy... read more

With salvation as with a garment, and with righteousness as with a robe: the salvation that God will work for me will render... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:1-11

Good news for the exiles (61:1-62:12)God’s Spirit gives the prophet some good news to pass on to the Jews held captive in Babylon. They will be released to return to their land, but their captors will be punished (61:1-2). When they arrive in Jerusalem, they may be overcome with grief because of the ruin and devastation they see around them. But God will encourage and strengthen them so that they can rebuild their beloved city (3-4).Foreigners will carry out the everyday duties for the Jews and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 61:10

"I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, 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 a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth: so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations."These verses also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 61:10-11

Isaiah 61:10-11. I will greatly rejoice, &c.— The church here bursts forth into joy and rapture upon a view of the blessings of grace so liberally conferred upon her. In this sublime and elegant passage we have, first, a proposition, and then the reason of it in this verse, together with a confirmation of that reason in the next. The garments of salvation, and the robe of righteousness, signify in this place all those effects of the spiritual redemption procured by Jesus Christ for his... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 61:10

10. Zion ( :-) gives thanks for God's returning favor (compare Luke 1:46; Luke 1:47; Habakkuk 3:18). salvation . . . righteousness—inseparably connected together. The "robe" is a loose mantle thrown over the other parts of the dress (Psalms 132:9; Psalms 132:16; Psalms 149:4; Revelation 21:2; Revelation 19:8). decketh himself with ornaments—rather "maketh himself a priestly headdress," that is, a magnificent headdress, such as was worn by the high priest, namely, a miter and a plate, or crown... read more

The benefits of the mission of the Anointed One 61:4-11The Anointed One would fulfill God’s ancient promises to Israel."The Servant of Jehovah celebrates the glorious office committed to him, and expounds the substance of the gospel given him to proclaim.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 61:10

Isaiah now spoke for Zion, who rejoiced in the Lord for the gifts that He would give her in the future. Yahweh will have clothed her in garments of salvation and wrapped her in a robe of righteousness, like a bride for her wedding day. Salvation is "unto" (for the purpose of and expected results toward) righteousness. Israel’s joy in that day (the Millennium) will be like that of a bride on her wedding day, ecstatically adorned with a turban and jewels. read more
