| NET © Notes |
1 sn The speaker in vv. 10-11 is not identified, but it is likely that the personified nation (or perhaps Zion) responds here to the Lord’s promise of restoration. 2 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis. 3 tn Heb “my being is happy in my God”; NAB “in my God is the joy of my soul.” 4 tn Heb “robe of vindication”; KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV “robe of righteousness.” 5 tn Heb “like a bridegroom [who] acts like a priest [by wearing] a turban, and like a bride [who] wears her jewelry.” The words “I look” are supplied for stylistic reasons and clarification. |
