Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 62:3

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.

An Expression to set forth the dignity of her state.

i. e. Either, as placed upon thee by God's hand, that he will dispose of, or dispense to thee, an usual form of speech in Scripture, as Hag. 1. 1. by the hand of Haggai, so Mal. 1. 1. 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 Gods Hand, a Phrase that expresseth it to be out of all danger, as to put a Mans Life in his hands is to expose it to dangers, Iudg. 12. 3. 1 Sam. 19. 5. & 28. 21.

The same thing with the former for substance. Or, the royal Priesthood, whereof the Apostle speaks, 1 Pet. 2. 9.
