What does Isaiah 61:3 mean?

He’ll give those who mourn in Zion a crown instead of ashes, joy instead of mourning, and praise instead of a spirit crushed by despair. They’ll be called ‘oaks of righteousness,’ planted by the Lord to show His beauty. Isaiah 61:3 - Modern Text Bible

(God will transform sorrow into joy and make His people strong and honorable.)
