To grant H7760 those who mourn H57 in Zion H6726,
Giving H5414 them a headdress H6287 instead H8478 of H8478 ashes H665,
The oil H8081 of rejoicing H8342 instead H8478 of H8478 mourning H60,
The mantle H4594 of praise H8416 instead H8478 of H8478 a spirit H7307 of fainting H3544.
So they will be called H7121 [fn]oaks H352 of righteousness H6664,
The planting H4302 of Yahweh H3068, that He may show H6286 forth His beautiful H6286 glory H6286.
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in Yahweh H3068;
My soul H5315 will rejoice H1523 in my God H430,
For He has clothed H3847 me with garments H899 of salvation H3468,
He has wrapped H5844 me with a robe H4598 of righteousness H6666,
As a bridegroom H2860 decks H3547 himself with a headdress H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
For as the earth H776 brings H3318 forth H3318 its branches H6780,
And as a garden H1593 causes the things H2221 sown H2221 in it to branch H6779 out H6779,
So H3651 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 will cause righteousness H6666 and praise H8416
To branch H6779 out H6779 before H5048 all H3605 the nations H1471.
