NET Notes

¹tn Heb “oil of joy” (KJV, ASV); NASB, NIV, NRSV “the oil of gladness.”

²tn Heb “garment of praise.”

³tn Heb “a faint spirit” (so NRSV); KJV, ASV “the spirit of heaviness”; NASB “a spirit of fainting.”

⁴tn Rather than referring to the character of the people, צֶדֶק (tsedeq) may carry the nuance “vindication” here, suggesting that God’s restored people are a testimony to his justice. See v. 2, which alludes to the fact that God will take vengeance against the enemies of his people. Cf. NAB “oaks of justice.”

⁵tn Heb “a planting of the Lord to reveal splendor.”
