Isaiah 62

1. The fervent desire of the prophet to confirm the church in God's promises.
6. The office of the ministers in preaching the Gospel
10. And preparing the people thereto

Berean Study Bible

You will be
This phrase is a promise, a future certainty spoken by God through the prophet Isaiah. The Hebrew root here is "tihyeh," which conveys a sense of becoming or being established. It reflects God's sovereign plan and assurance that His people will be transformed and elevated. This promise is not contingent on human effort but on divine will, emphasizing God's faithfulness and the certainty of His word.

a crown of glory
The "crown" symbolizes honor, authority, and victory. In Hebrew, the word "atarah" is used, which often denotes a wreath or a symbol of triumph. The "glory" (Hebrew: "tiferet") signifies beauty, splendor, and magnificence. Together, this imagery conveys that God's people will be a source of divine beauty and honor, reflecting His majesty. Historically, crowns were worn by kings and priests, indicating that believers are set apart for a noble purpose, to reign with Christ and serve as His representatives on earth.

in the hand of the LORD
The "hand" of the LORD (Hebrew: "yad") is a metaphor for His power, control, and protection. Being in God's hand signifies security and divine favor. It suggests that the people of God are not only precious to Him but are also under His sovereign care and guidance. This imagery reassures believers of their place in God's plan and His intimate involvement in their lives.

and a royal diadem
A "diadem" (Hebrew: "tsanif") is a type of crown, often associated with royalty and high status. The term "royal" underscores the regal nature of God's people, who are called to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. This phrase highlights the dignity and worth bestowed upon believers, who are seen as precious and valuable in God's sight.

in the palm of your God
The "palm" (Hebrew: "kaph") is another reference to God's hand, emphasizing closeness and personal care. The use of "your God" personalizes the relationship, indicating a covenant bond between God and His people. This phrase assures believers of their intimate relationship with God, who holds them securely and cherishes them as His own. It is a reminder of the personal and loving nature of God's commitment to His people.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(3) A crown of glory . . .--The "crown" as distinctively kingly; the "diadem" implies a "tiara," like the mitre of the High Priest (Exodus 28:4; Zechariah 3:5). The two "hands" are expressed by different words in the Hebrew, the second having the sense of the open palm of the hand. The "new crown," i.e., the new glory accruing to Jehovah from the restoration of Jerusalem, is not worn on the head (thought of, we may believe, as already crowned from eternity), but held forth in the hand for the gaze of the adoring nations.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 3. - Thou shalt also be a crown of glory, etc. God will exhibit Israel to an admiring world, as a man might exhibit a "crown" or "diadem" which he held in his hand. They will look on with admiration and reverence - "for they shall perceive that it is his work" (Psalm 64:9).
