The Hebrew word for "delight" is "שׂוּשׂ" (sus), which conveys a sense of exultation and rejoicing. This delight is not superficial but deeply rooted in the soul's recognition of God's sovereignty and goodness. Historically, this joy reflects the Israelites' understanding of God as their deliverer and provider, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament. The phrase invites believers to find their ultimate joy and fulfillment in God, transcending earthly circumstances.my soul rejoices in my God The phrase "my soul rejoices in my God" emphasizes an inner, spiritual joy that goes beyond mere emotional happiness. The Hebrew word for "rejoices" is "גִּיל" (gil), which suggests a spinning or leaping for joy. This indicates an exuberant, almost physical expression of joy that originates from the soul's connection with God. The use of "my God" personalizes the relationship, highlighting the intimate bond between the believer and the divine. This personal relationship is central to the faith journey, encouraging believers to cultivate a deep, personal connection with God.For He has clothed me with garments of salvation The imagery of being "clothed with garments of salvation" is rich with meaning. In ancient times, clothing was a symbol of identity and status. The Hebrew word for "clothed" is "לָבַשׁ" (lavash), which means to put on or wear. The "garments of salvation" signify a transformation and covering provided by God, indicating a new identity as one who is saved and redeemed. This metaphor is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to "put on" Christ (<a href="/romans/13-14.htm">Romans 13:14</a>). It speaks to the transformative power of God's salvation, which covers and redeems the believer.and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness The "robe of righteousness" further develops the clothing metaphor, emphasizing the righteousness bestowed upon the believer. The Hebrew word for "arrayed" is "יַעְטֵנִי" (ya'ateini), meaning to wrap or envelop. This suggests a complete covering, indicating that righteousness is not self-derived but granted by God. The "robe" symbolizes honor and dignity, reflecting the believer's new standing before God. This righteousness is a gift, not earned, pointing to the grace of God in the believer's life. It underscores the Christian doctrine of imputed righteousness through faith in Christ.as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest The comparison to a bridegroom who "adorns his head like a priest" draws on cultural and religious imagery. In ancient Israel, both bridegrooms and priests wore special headdresses or turbans as symbols of their roles and responsibilities. The Hebrew word for "adorns" is "כַּהֵן" (kohen), which can also mean to serve as a priest. This dual imagery highlights the sanctity and joy of the occasion, likening the believer's righteousness to the honor and dedication of a priest. It suggests that the believer is set apart for a holy purpose, much like a priest in service to God.and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels The imagery of a bride adorning herself with jewels conveys beauty, value, and preparation for a significant event. The Hebrew word for "adorns" is "תַּעְדֶּה" (ta'adeh), meaning to decorate or make beautiful. This reflects the care and attention given to one's appearance for a wedding, symbolizing the believer's preparation and readiness for a relationship with God. The "jewels" represent the precious and valuable aspects of the believer's new life in Christ, adorned with the virtues and graces that come from a life transformed by God's love and righteousness. This imagery invites believers to see themselves as cherished and valued by God, prepared for a divine relationship.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/61.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) I will greatly rejoice . . .--The speaker is again, as in <a href="/isaiah/61-1.htm" title="The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;">Isaiah 61:1</a>, 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 <a href="/isaiah/59-17.htm" title="For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.">Isaiah 59:17</a> and <a href="/isaiah/61-3.htm" title="To appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.">Isaiah 61:3</a>, 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 <a href="/songs/3-11.htm" title="Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.">Song of Solomon 3:11</a> that bridegrooms wore a special head-dress on the day of their espousal, and this is here compared to the priestly "bonnet," or "mitre" (<a href="/exodus/28-4.htm" title="And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a turban, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.">Exodus 28:4</a>; <a href="/exodus/39-28.htm" title="And a turban of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,">Exodus 39:28</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/44-18.htm" title="They shall have linen bonnets on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causes sweat.">Ezekiel 44:18</a>). On the special occasion which may have suggested the image, see Note on <a href="/isaiah/62-4.htm" title="You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah: for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.">Isaiah 62:4</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/61.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 10, 11. - JERUSALEM ACCEPTS THE PROMISES, AND GLORIES IN JEHOVAH. So the Targum and Rosenmuller. Others think that "the Servant" is still speaking, or that Isaiah speaks in the name of the people. To us the exposition of the Targum appears the most satisfactory. It is in the manner of Isaiah suddenly to introduce a new speaker. Verse 10. - I will greatly rejoice in the Lord (comp. <a href="/habakkuk/3-18.htm">Habakkuk 3:18</a>). The promises made were such as naturally to call forth on the part of Israel the most heartfelt joy and rejoicing - including, as they did, restoration, rule over the Gentiles, a universal priesthood, a wide territory, "everlasting joy," a high renown, and an "everlasting covenant. He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation (comp. <a href="/isaiah/59-17.htm">Isaiah 59:17</a> and Isaiah 61:3). The metaphor occurs also in the Psalms (<a href="/psalms/71-6.htm">Psalm 71:6</a>; <a href="/psalms/109-18.htm">Psalm 109:18</a>). God clothes Israel with "righteousness" derived from himself (<a href="/isaiah/54-17.htm">Isaiah 54:17</a>, ad fin.), and then with its natural consequence - "salvation." The result is to make Israel as a bridegroom who decketh himself with a priestly crown, and as a bride who adornoth herself with her jewels. That bridegrooms ordinarily wore crowns appears from the Mishna. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/61-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will rejoice greatly שׂ֧וֹשׂ (śō·wś) Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7797.htm">Strong's 7797: </a> To be bright, cheerful in the LORD, בַּֽיהוָ֗ה (Yah·weh) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel my soul נַפְשִׁי֙ (nap̄·šî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion will exult תָּגֵ֤ל (tā·ḡêl) Verb - Qal - Imperfect Jussive - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1523.htm">Strong's 1523: </a> To spin round, rejoice, fear in my God;
