Context — Zion’s Salvation and New Name
1For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride. 5For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 62:3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,.... The church and her members are glorious in themselves, through the righteousness of Christ put upon them; through the grace of Christ
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 62:3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 62:3
A crown of glory; an expression to set forth the dignity of her state. In the hand of the Lord, i.e. either as placed upon thee by God’ s hand, that he will dispose of or dispense to thee; a usual form of speech in Scripture, as , by the hand of Haggai: so . Or, in the hand of God; he shall so manage thine honourable estate, that thou shalt be a crown, a credit, and honour to him; and so the word crown may be used for any kind of ornament, or matter of honour. Or, preserved and defended by God’ s hand; a phrase that expresseth it to be out of all danger, as to put a man’ s life in his hands is to expose it to dangers, 28:21. A royal diadem; the same thing with the former for substance. Or, the royal priesthood, whereof the apostle speaks, .
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 62:3
Isaiah 62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.Ver. 3. And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord.] Or, A glorious crown by the hand, the good hand, of the Lord upon thee. The saints are God’ s glory.; the house of his glory; a crown of glory and a royal diadem here: the throne of glory; the ornament of God; the beauty of his ornament, and that also set in majesty (ib.) Oh learn and labour to live up to such high preferment.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 62:3
(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.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 62:3
3. a crown of glory] R.V. of beauty. There is probably an allusion to the mural crown which tutelary deities of cities are sometimes represented as wearing, on ancient coins &c. The prophet for some reason hesitates to adopt the heathen image in its completeness; and pictures Jehovah as holding the crown in His hand.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 62:3
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory - On the application of the word ‘crown’ to a place, see the notes at Isaiah 28:1, where it is applied to Samaria.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 62:3
2, 3. Gentiles shall see thy righteousness — The same thought in respect to the Gentiles as in Isaiah 60:3.
