And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Ibn Ezra
And the ransomed, etc. And those that return, will come to Zion with rejoicing and with everlasting joy upon their heads. The head is the principal seat of the soul. According to others the joy will be like a cover over their heads; this explanation is also admissible. ששון ושמחה ישיגו Joy and gladness shall reach them. According to others: they shall obtain joy and gladness.
