Isaiah 61:1-63:9
Names of God Bible
The Lord Will Anoint His Servant with His Spirit
61 The Ruach of Adonay Yahweh is with me
because Yahweh has anointed me
to deliver good news to humble people.
He has sent me
to heal those who are brokenhearted,
to announce that captives will be set free
and prisoners will be released.
2 He has sent me
to announce the year of Yahweh’s good will
and the day of our Elohim’s vengeance,
to comfort all those who grieve.
3 He has sent me
to provide for all those who grieve in Zion,
to give them crowns instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of tears of grief,
and clothes of praise instead of a spirit of weakness.
They will be called Oaks of Righteousness,
the Plantings of Yahweh,
so that he might display his glory.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins.
They will restore the places destroyed long ago.
They will renew the ruined cities, the places destroyed generations ago.
5 Foreigners will come forward and become shepherds for your flocks,
and children of foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 You will be called the priests of Yahweh.
You will be called the servants of our Elohim.
You will consume the wealth of the nations.
You will boast in their splendor.
7 You will receive a double measure of wealth instead of your shame.
You will sing about your wealth instead of being disgraced.
That is why you will have a double measure of wealth in your land.
You will have everlasting joy.
8 I, Yahweh, love justice.
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
I will faithfully reward my people’s work.
I will make an everlasting promise[a] to them.
9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations
and their descendants among the people.
Everyone who sees them will recognize
that they are the descendants whom Yahweh has blessed.
10 I will find joy in Yahweh.
I will delight in my Elohim.
He has dressed me in the clothes of salvation.
He has wrapped me in the robe of righteousness
like a bridegroom with a priest’s turban,
like a bride with her jewels.
11 Like the ground that brings forth its crops
and like a garden that makes the seed in it grow,
so Adonay Yahweh will make righteousness and praise
spring up in front of all nations.
Jerusalem’s Salvation Is Coming
62 For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent.
For Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until its righteousness shines like the dawn
and its salvation burns brightly like a torch.
2 The nations will see your righteousness.
All kings will see your glory.
You will be given a new name
that Yahweh will announce.
3 Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of Yahweh,
a royal crown in the hand of your Elohim.
4 You will no longer be called Deserted,
and your land will no longer be called Destroyed.
But you will be named My Delight,
and your land will be named Married.
Yahweh is delighted with you,
and your land will be married.
5 As a young man marries a woman,
so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so your Elohim will rejoice over you.
6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
They will never be silent day or night.
Whoever calls on Yahweh, do not give yourselves any rest,
7 and do not give him any rest until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it an object of praise throughout the earth.
8 Yahweh has sworn with his right hand and with his mighty arm,
“I will never again let your enemies eat your grain,
nor will foreigners drink the new wine which you made.”
9 Those who harvest grain
will eat it and praise Yahweh.
Those who gather grapes
will drink wine in my holy courtyards.
10 Go through! Go through the gates!
Prepare a way for the people!
Build up! Build up the highway!
Clear away the stones!
Raise a flag for the people!
11 Yahweh has announced to the ends of the earth:
“Tell my people Zion,
‘Your Savior is coming.
His reward is with him,
and the people he has won arrive ahead of him.’”
12 They will be called Holy People, Those Reclaimed by Yahweh,
and you will be called Sought After, a City Not Deserted.
The Lord Alone Wins His Victory
63 Who is this coming from Bozrah in Edom
with his clothes stained bright red?
Who is this dressed in splendor,
going forward with great strength?
“It is I, Yahweh. I am coming to announce my victory.
I am powerful enough to save you.”
2 Why are your clothes red
and your garments like those who trample grapes in a winepress?
3 “I have trampled alone in the winepress.
No one was with me.
In my anger I trampled on people.
In my wrath I stomped on them.
Their blood splattered my clothes
so all my clothing has been stained.
4 I planned the day of vengeance.
The year for my reclaiming you has come.
5 I looked, but there was no help.
I was astounded that there was no outside support.
So with my own power I won a victory.
My anger supported me.
6 In my anger I trampled on people.
In my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground.”
The Lord’s People Pray for His Help
7 I will acknowledge Yahweh’s acts of mercy,
and sing the praises of Yahweh,
because of everything that Yahweh has done for us.
He has done many good things for the nation of Israel
because of his compassion and his unlimited mercy.
8 He said, “They are my people,
children who will not lie to me.”
So he became their Savior.
9 In all their troubles he was troubled,
and he was the Messenger who saved them.
In his love and compassion he reclaimed them.
He always held them and carried them in the past.

New International Version
Isaiah 61:1-63:9
New International Version
The Year of the Lord’s Favor
61 The Spirit(A) of the Sovereign Lord(B) is on me,
because the Lord has anointed(C) me
to proclaim good news(D) to the poor.(E)
He has sent me to bind up(F) the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom(G) for the captives(H)
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor(I)
and the day of vengeance(J) of our God,
to comfort(K) all who mourn,(L)
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown(M) of beauty
instead of ashes,(N)
the oil(O) of joy
instead of mourning,(P)
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting(Q) of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.(R)
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins(S)
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers(T) will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests(U) of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth(V) of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame(W)
you will receive a double(X) portion,
and instead of disgrace
you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(Y) a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy(Z) will be yours.
8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;(AA)
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant(AB) with them.
9 Their descendants(AC) will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”(AD)
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(AE) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(AF)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(AG) like a priest,
and as a bride(AH) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(AI) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(AJ)
and praise spring up before all nations.
Zion’s New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(AK)
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(AL) shines out like the dawn,(AM)
her salvation(AN) like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(AO) will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(AP)
that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(AQ) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(AR)
or name your land Desolate.(AS)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[b](AT)
and your land Beulah[c];
for the Lord will take delight(AU) in you,
and your land will be married.(AV)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(AW) rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice(AX) over you.
6 I have posted watchmen(AY) on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,(AZ)
7 and give him no rest(BA) till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise(BB) of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn(BC) by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(BD)
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(BE) it
and praise the Lord,(BF)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”(BG)
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!(BH)
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!(BI)
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner(BJ) for the nations.
11 The Lord has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:(BK)
“Say to Daughter Zion,(BL)
‘See, your Savior comes!(BM)
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.’”(BN)
12 They will be called(BO) the Holy People,(BP)
the Redeemed(BQ) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.(BR)
God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption
63 Who is this coming from Edom,(BS)
from Bozrah,(BT) with his garments stained crimson?(BU)
Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?(BV)
“It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save.”(BW)
2 Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress?(BX)
3 “I have trodden the winepress(BY) alone;
from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(BZ) them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;(CA)
their blood spattered my garments,(CB)
and I stained all my clothing.
4 It was for me the day of vengeance;(CC)
the year for me to redeem had come.
5 I looked, but there was no one(CD) to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(CE) achieved salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me.(CF)
6 I trampled(CG) the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk(CH)
and poured their blood(CI) on the ground.”
Praise and Prayer
7 I will tell of the kindnesses(CJ) 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(CK)
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion(CL) and many kindnesses.
8 He said, “Surely they are my people,(CM)
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.(CN)
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel(CO) of his presence(CP) saved them.[d]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(CQ) them;
he lifted them up and carried(CR) them
all the days of old.(CS)
