Isaiah 61:10-11
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.
Isaiah 61:10-11
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.
