In the Old Testament, priests were responsible for mediating between God and the people, offering sacrifices, and maintaining the temple. The imagery of being "clothed" suggests being enveloped or covered, indicating a complete transformation or endowment. Salvation here can be understood as both physical deliverance and spiritual redemption. This promise is reminiscent of the priestly garments described in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a>, which were designed for glory and beauty, symbolizing righteousness and holiness. The concept of being clothed with salvation is echoed in <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>, where the prophet speaks of being clothed with garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who is our High Priest (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).<p><b>and her saints will sing out in joy</b><br>The term "saints" refers to the faithful followers of God, those set apart for His purposes. In the context of ancient Israel, this would include the community of believers who worshiped Yahweh and adhered to His covenant. Singing out in joy reflects a response to God's salvation and blessings, a common theme in the Psalms where music and worship are expressions of gratitude and celebration (<a href="/psalms/100.htm">Psalm 100:1-2</a>). This joy is not merely emotional but is rooted in the reality of God's deliverance and faithfulness. The prophetic aspect of this phrase can be seen in the New Testament, where the joy of the saints is fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ, who brings ultimate salvation and joy to His people (<a href="/luke/2-10.htm">Luke 2:10-11</a>).
