Verse 10
10. I will greatly rejoice The Servant of Jehovah, or Messiah, is again the speaker. To him the calling that of bringing messages of salvation to Jehovah’s people is a joyful one. In preparatory adornment for this, Jehovah invests him with garments of salvation… the robe of righteousness Do not these symbolize, respectively, the estate of Messiah at his resurrection and at his ascension, as our risen Redeemer? It so seems. He, the Messiah, is thus bedecked as with a priestly coronet a tiara or costly turban. This painstaking adornment is like to that of a bridegroom in grand array; and to that of a bride when she appears in her jewels. Conceptions are here intermixed: namely, Christ and his Church, the Saviour and the saved; the Intercessor and those for whom prayer is made. The Servant of Jehovah’s priestly office avails to accomplish an orderly renown to his Church, once, and even recently, in humiliation. (See Isaiah 61:5; Isaiah 61:8; Isaiah 61:11.)
