I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
Ibn Ezra
I will greatly rejoice. These are the words which Israel will then proclaim. יעטני He hath covered me. It is past of עוטה ; יעט covering (Ps. 104:2) is of the same root, though of a different form. יכהן Serveth. It is a transitive verb, and פאר ornament is the object; it is attended to by the bridegroom; compare my remark on ישרתונך shall minister unto thee (60:7). And as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels, with the chain round her neck.
