Isaiah 61:10-63:9
New American Standard Bible
10 I will (A)rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will be joyful in (B)my God;
For He has (C)clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a groom puts on a turban,
And (D)as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the (E)earth produces its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord [a]God will (F)cause (G)righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
Zion’s Glory and New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her (H)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her (I)salvation like a torch that is burning.
2 The (J)nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new (K)name
Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.
3 You will also be a (L)crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
And a royal headband in the hand of your God.
4 It will no longer be said to you, “[b](M)Forsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “[c]Desolate”;
But you will be called, “[d]My delight is in her,”
And your land, “[e](N)Married”;
For the (O)Lord delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the [f]groom rejoices over the bride,
So your (P)God will rejoice over you.
6 On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed (Q)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (R)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
7 And (S)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (T)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
8 (U)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will (V)never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will [g]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
9 But those who (W)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.
10 Go through, (X)go through the gates,
Clear a way [h]for the people!
(Y)Build up, build up the (Z)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a (AA)flag over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the (AB)end of the earth:
(AC)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your (AD)salvation is coming;
(AE)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “(AF)The holy people,
The (AG)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City (AH)Not Abandoned.”
God’s Vengeance on the Nations
63 Who is this who comes from (AI)Edom,
With (AJ)garments of [i]glowing colors from (AK)Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
[j]Marching in the greatness of His strength?
“It is I, the One who speaks in righteousness, (AL)mighty to save.”
2 Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who (AM)treads in the wine press?
3 “(AN)I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no one with Me.
I also (AO)trod them in My anger
And (AP)trampled them in My wrath;
And (AQ)their [k]lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I [l]stained all My clothes.
4 For the (AR)day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
5 I looked, but there was (AS)no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My (AT)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
6 I (AU)trampled down the peoples in My anger
And made them (AV)drunk with My wrath,
And I [m]poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled
7 I will make mention of the (AW)mercies of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has granted us,
And the great (AX)goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has granted them according to His (AY)compassion
And according to the abundance of His mercies.
8 For He said, “Certainly they are (AZ)My people,
Sons who will not deal falsely.”
So He became their (BA)Savior.
9 In all their distress [n](BB)He was distressed,
And the (BC)angel of His presence saved them;
In His (BD)love and in His mercy He (BE)redeemed them,
And He (BF)lifted them and carried them all the days of old.

New International Version
Isaiah 61:10-63:9
New International Version
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(A) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(B)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(C) like a priest,
and as a bride(D) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(E) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(F)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Zion’s New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(G)
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(H) shines out like the dawn,(I)
her salvation(J) like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(K) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(L)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(M) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(N)
or name your land Desolate.(O)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](P)
and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(Q) in you,
and your land will be married.(R)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(S) rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(T) over you.
6 I have posted watchmen(U) on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,(V)
7 and give him no rest(W) till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise(X) of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn(Y) by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(Z)
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat(AA) it
and praise the Lord,(AB)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”(AC)
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!(AD)
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!(AE)
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner(AF) for the nations.
11 The Lord has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:(AG)
“Say to Daughter Zion,(AH)
‘See, your Savior comes!(AI)
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.’”(AJ)
12 They will be called(AK) the Holy People,(AL)
the Redeemed(AM) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.(AN)
God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption
63 Who is this coming from Edom,(AO)
from Bozrah,(AP) with his garments stained crimson?(AQ)
Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?(AR)
“It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save.”(AS)
2 Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress?(AT)
3 “I have trodden the winepress(AU) alone;
from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(AV) them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;(AW)
their blood spattered my garments,(AX)
and I stained all my clothing.
4 It was for me the day of vengeance;(AY)
the year for me to redeem had come.
5 I looked, but there was no one(AZ) to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(BA) achieved salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me.(BB)
6 I trampled(BC) the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk(BD)
and poured their blood(BE) on the ground.”
Praise and Prayer
7 I will tell of the kindnesses(BF) of the Lord,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things(BG)
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion(BH) and many kindnesses.
8 He said, “Surely they are my people,(BI)
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.(BJ)
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel(BK) of his presence(BL) saved them.[c]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(BM) them;
he lifted them up and carried(BN) them
all the days of old.(BO)
