Isaiah 52:1
1 Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful clothes, O Jerusalem, holy city. For uncircumcised and unclean pagans will no longer invade you. 2 Shake off the dirt! Get up, captive Jerusalem. Take off the iron chains around your neck, O captive daughter Zion. 3 For this is what the Lord says: “You were sold for nothing, and you will not be redeemed for money.” 4 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “In the beginning my people went to live temporarily in Egypt; Assyria oppressed them for no good reason.
Psalms of Solomon 11:7
5 The woods shaded them as they passed by; God made every fragrant tree to spring up for them 6 that Israel might pass by in the watchful care of the glory of their God. 7 O Jerusalem, put on your glorious clothes, prepare your holy robes, because God has pronounced blessings on Israel forever and ever. 8 May the Lord do to Israel and Jerusalem the things that he has spoken; may the Lord lift up Israel by his glorious name. 9 May the mercy of the Lord be upon Israel forevermore.
Notes and References
"... Whereas Isaiah 40:5 emphasizes the glory of God himself as he arrives in person, Psalm of Solomon 11:6 interprets God’s glory as manifest in the return of exiles. The reestablishment of the righteous Diaspora is the fulfillment of salvation from Isaiah 40:5 (Psalms of Solomon 5:7). The Psalm also extracts various other strands of second exodus material from Isaiah, most notably Isaiah 52. In verses 1b-2 of the Psalm, someone commands that people “announce ... the voice of the one bringing good news”, and this good news is modified by a dependent ὅτι clause: “for / that God has been merciful to Israel”.” Though the parallel is not exact, this is probably a reference to the heralding messenger of Isaiah 52:7. In the LXX, Isaiah 52’s herald announces the good news of the saving reign of God “because the Lord has been merciful to her and has rescued Jerusalem” (Isaiah 52:9). Another probable allusion to Isaiah 52 appears at the end of the Psalm. In verse 7, there is a command for Jerusalem to “put on” her “glorious garments”. The correspondence with Isaiah 52:1 here is unmistakable. Later in verse 7, the reason that Jerusalem is to clothe itself is because “God has spoken good things about Israel forever”. The verb ἐλάλησεν and adverbial clause εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα probably derives from Isaiah 40:5 and 8 respectively, yet the mention of “good things” may be another conscious inclusion of Isaiah 52:7 and the proclamation of “good things” from that context. By alluding to Isaiah 52:7-9, Psalm of Solomon 11:1 and 11:7 intimates that God will bring about “good news” and “good things” through the exilic return (Psalms of Solomon 11:5-6) ..."
