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].
