Zion’s Glory and New Name

1 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 name
          Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.

3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
          And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,”
          Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”;
          But you will be called, “My delight is in her,”
          And your land, “Married”;
          For the LORD delights in you,
          And to Him your land will be married.

5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
          So your sons will marry you;
          And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
          So your 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 the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

7 And give Him no rest until He establishes
          And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
          “I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies;
          Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

9 But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD;
          And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

10 Go through, go through the gates,
          Clear the way for the people;
          Build up, build up the highway,
          Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.

11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
          Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, 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 the LORD”;
          And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”
