Isaiah 61:10 - 63:9

« Isaiah 60 | Isaiah 61-63 | Isaiah 64 »

I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh;

My soul will rejoice in my God,

For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,

He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with a headdress,

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

For as the earth brings forth its branches,

And as a garden causes the things sown in it to branch out,

So Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise

To branch out before all the nations.

Zion’s Glory and New Name

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

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

Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,

And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

The nations will see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory;

And you will be called by a new name

Which the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

You will also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh,

And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.

It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,”

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

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

And your land, “Married”;

For Yahweh takes pleasure in you,

And to Him your land will be married.

For as a young man marries a virgin,

So your sons will marry you;

And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

So your God will rejoice over you.

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;

All day and all night they will never keep silent.

You who remind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;

And give Him no rest until He establishes

And sets Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.

Yahweh has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,

“I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies;

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

But those who collect it will eat it and praise Yahweh;

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

Go through, go through the gates,

Clear the way for the people;

Build up, build up the highway,

Remove the stones, raise up a standard over the peoples.

Behold, Yahweh has announced to the end of the earth,

Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes;

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

And they will call them, “The holy people,

The redeemed of Yahweh”;

And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”

Vengeance of Yahweh

Who is this who comes from Edom,

With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah,

This One who is majestic in His clothing,

Marching in the greatness of His power?

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

Why is Your clothing red,

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

“I have trodden the wine trough alone,

And from the peoples there was no man with Me.

I also trod them in My anger

And trampled them in My wrath;

And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,

And I stained all My clothes.

For the day of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

I looked, and there was no one to help,

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

So My own arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath upheld Me.

I trod down the peoples in My anger

And made them drunk in My wrath,

And I brought down their lifeblood to the earth.”

Remember the Lovingkindness of Yahweh

I shall bring to remembrance the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh,

According to all the ways that Yahweh has dealt bountifully with us,

And the abundant goodness toward the house of Israel,

Which He has dealt bountifully to them according to His compassion

And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

And He said, “Surely, they are My people,

Sons who will not deal falsely.”

So He became their Savior.

In all their distress He was distressed,

And the angel of His presence saved them;

In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them,

And He lifted them and carried them all the ancient days.
