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 Arighteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her Bsalvation like a torch that is burning.
The Anations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new Bname
Which the mouth of the Loʀᴅ will designate.
You will also be a Acrown of beauty in the hand of the Loʀᴅ,
And a royal 1diadem in the hand of your God.
It will no longer be said to you, “1AForsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “2Desolate”;
But you will be called, “3My delight is in her,”
And your land, “4BMarried”;
For the CLoʀᴅ delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the 1bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your AGod will rejoice over you.
 
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed Awatchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who Bremind the Loʀᴅ, take no rest for yourselves;
And Agive Him no rest until He establishes
And makes BJerusalem a praise in the earth.
AThe Loʀᴅ has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
“I will Bnever again give your grain as food for your enemies;
Nor will 1foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
But those who Agarner it will eat it and praise the Loʀᴅ;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
 
10  Go through, Ago through the gates,
Clear the way 1for the people;
BBuild up, build up the Chighway,
Remove the stones, lift up a Dstandard over the peoples.
11  Behold, the Loʀᴅ has proclaimed to the Aend of the earth,
BSay to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your Csalvation comes;
DBehold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “AThe holy people,
The Bredeemed of the Loʀᴅ”;
And you will be called, “Sought out, a city Cnot forsaken.”
