I will greatly rejoice in the Lord ; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10 ESV)
What does Isaiah give for a reason as to why he will greatly rejoice and exalt in The Lord? It is for his clothing. And what are those garments; salvation, and righteousness.
Our rejoicing ought to be for the same reasons. It is no less that we could rejoice if we clothed ourselves with our own salvation, then we could cloth ourselves with our own righteousness. The reason for rejoicing is that God has clothed us with both salvation and righteousness.
