1 El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque él me ha elegido para anunciar buenas noticias a los pobres. Me ha enviado para sanar a los de corazón herido, anunciar que los prisioneros serán liberados y que los encadenados volverán a ver la luz, 2 para anunciar que ha llegado el año del favor del Señor y el día del castigo de nuestro Dios, para consolar a todos los que están tristes, 3 para darles un hermoso adorno para la cabeza en lugar de polvo, aceite de alegría en lugar de ropa de duelo y alabanza en lugar de tristeza. Así serán llamados árboles de justicia, plantados por el Señor para su gloria. 4 Reconstruirán los antiguos muros derribados, renovarán los lugares desolados de antes y volverán a levantar las ciudades que han estado desoladas por muchas generaciones. 5 Los extranjeros serán sus pastores, y los que no son israelitas ararán sus campos y cuidarán sus viñedos. 6 Pero ustedes serán llamados sacerdotes del Señor, servidores de nuestro Dios. Se alimentarán de las riquezas de las naciones y se vestirán con su gloria. 7 Como tuvieron el doble de dolor y recibieron vergüenza como herencia, en su tierra recibirán el doble de recompensa y tendrán alegría eterna. 8 Yo, el Señor, me complazco en juzgar con rectitud y no tolero que se quiten los derechos por la fuerza. Les daré su recompensa y haré con ellos un pacto eterno. 9 Su descendencia será reconocida entre las naciones y sus hijos entre los pueblos. Todos los que los vean sabrán que son la descendencia bendecida por el Señor. 10 Me llenaré de alegría en el Señor y mi alma se alegrará en mi Dios. Me ha vestido de salvación y me ha cubierto con la túnica de justicia, como el novio se pone un hermoso adorno en la cabeza y la novia se embellece con joyas. 11 Como la tierra produce brotes y el jardín hace crecer las semillas sembradas en él, así el Señor hará florecer la justicia y la alabanza ante todas las naciones.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

For a single person is represented as saying, "He hath decked me as a bridegroom with ornaments, and adorned me as a bride with jewels" and yet it is, of course, a matter for interpretation which of these two refers to the head and which to the body, that is, which to Christ and which to the Church.
