Isaiah 61:10-11

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰I 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.
¹¹For 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.
