Isaiah 61:10-11
The Voice
10 I am filled with joy and my soul vibrates with exuberant hope,
because of the Eternal my God;
For He has dressed me with the garment of salvation,
wrapped me with the robe of righteousness.
It’s as though I’m dressed for my wedding day,[a]
in the very best: a bridegroom’s garland and a bride’s jewels.
11 The whole earth sprouts newness and life in the springtime,
and green shoots break through the well-seeded garden soil.
That’s what it is like with the Eternal’s victory—
the Lord will cause justice and praise to sprout up before all the nations, for all peoples to see.

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.
