bI hate robbery1 for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
cAnd will make with them an everlasting covenant.
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
aThat they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For bHe has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
cAs a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord God will cause arighteousness and bpraise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 61:10
Zion (Isaiah 61:3) gives thanks for God's returning favor (compare Luke 1:46-47; 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 of gold worn in front of it [AQUILA, etc.]; appropriate to the "kingdom of priests," dedicated to the offering of spiritual sacrifices to God continually (Exodus 19:6; Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:6).
jewels—rather, "ornaments" in general [BARNES].
