Isaiah 61:10-11

New International Version

¹⁰I 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.
¹¹For 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.
