1 Zion’s Glory and New Name For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,And her salvation like a torch that is burning.
2 The nations will see your righteousness,And all kings your glory;And you will be called by a new nameWhich the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3 You will also be a crown of glory in the hand of Yahweh,And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God.
4 It will no longer be said to you, “ 62:4Heb Azubah Forsaken,”Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “ 62:4Heb Shemamah Desolate”;But you will be called, “ 62:4Heb Hephzibah My delight is in her,”And your land, “ 62:4Heb Beulah Married”;For Yahweh takes pleasure in you,Andto Himyour land will be married.
5 Forasa young man marries a virgin,Soyour sons will marry you;Andasthe 62:5Lit exultation of the bridegroom bridegroom rejoices over the bride,Soyour God will rejoice over you.
6 ¶On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;All day and all night they will never keep silent.You who remind Yahweh, take no rest for yourselves;
7 And give Him no rest until He establishesAnd sets Jerusalem as a praise in the earth.
8 Yahweh has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,“I will never again give your grainasfood for your enemies;Nor will 62:8Lit sons of foreigners foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
9 But those who collect it will eat it and praise Yahweh;And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
10 ¶Go through, go through the gates,Clear the way 62:10Lit of for the people;Build up, build up the highway,Remove the stones, raise up a standard over the peoples.
11 Behold, Yahweh has 62:11Or caused it to be heard announced to the end of the earth,Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes;Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “The holy people,The redeemed of Yahweh”;And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”
