11. Observe the contrast. God takes away the mourning of his people; and
what does he give them instead of it? Quiet and peace? Ay, and a great deal
more than that. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing. He
makes their hearts to dance at the sound of his name. He takes off their
sack-cloth. That is good. What a delight to be rid of the garments of woe! But
what then? He clothes us. And how? With some common dress? Nay, but with that
royal vestment which is the array of glorified spirits in heaven. Thou hastgirded me with gladness. This is better than to wear garments of silk or
cloth of gold, with embroidery and gems.
