Context of Isaiah 62:3

1Because I love Zion, I will not be quiet. I cannot stay quiet, because Jerusalem is in trouble. I will continue to speak until she is safe again. I want her righteousness to shine like the sun at dawn. I want her salvation to be a bright light in the dark. 2Jerusalem, the nations will see your righteousness. All their kings will see how great you are. People will call you by a new name, which the Lord himself will give to you. The Lord your God will hold you in his hand, and you will bring him honour. You will be like his beautiful crown! 4They will no longer call you by the name ‘Alone’. They will not call your land ‘Empty place’. Instead, they will call you ‘The one that makes God happy’. The name of your land will be ‘Married’. Yes, the Lord will be very happy with you. Your land will be his bride. 5As a young man marries a pure young woman, so your sons will marry you, Jerusalem. Your God will be very happy that you belong to him, as a bridegroom is happy with his new wife.

Some difficulty has been felt by expositors in explaining this, from the fact that a crown or diadem was worn on the head and not held in the hand, and some have supposed that the word crown‘ here is equivalent to any ornament which might be either horne in the hand or worn on the head; others have supposed…Read the comment

Lord--As a crown is worn on the head, not "in the hand," hand must here be figurative for "under the Lord's protection" (compare De 33:3). "All His saints are in thy hand." His people are in His hand at the same time that they are "a crown of glory" to Him (Re 6:2; 19:12); reciprocally, He is "a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty" to them (Is 28:5; compare Mal 3:17).Read the comment
