Isaiah 61:10-62:5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul 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 forth before all the nations.
The Vindication and Salvation of Zion
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
which the mouth of the Lord will give.
3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,[a]
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;[b]
but you shall be called My delight is in her,[c]
and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
so shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.

Isaiah 61:10-62:5
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.
