Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

1For Zion’s sake I will not 62:1 keep silenthold My peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,

And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory.

You shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord will name.

3You shall also be a crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

4You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,62:4 Heb. Azubah

Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;62:4 Heb. Shemamah

But you shall be called 62:4 Lit. My Delight Is in HerHephzibah, and your land 62:4 Lit. MarriedBeulah;

For the Lord delights in you,

And your land shall be married.

5For as a young man marries a virgin,

So shall your sons marry you;

And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

So shall your God rejoice over you.

6I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;

They shall 62:6 not be silentnever hold their peace day or night.

You who 62:6 remembermake mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,

7And give Him no rest till He establishes

And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8The Lord has sworn by His right hand

And by the arm of His strength:

“Surely I will no longer give your grain

As food for your enemies;

And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,

For which you have labored.

9But those who have gathered it shall eat it,

And praise the Lord;

Those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.”

10Go through,

Go through the gates!

Prepare the way for the people;

Build up,

Build up the highway!

Take out the stones,

Lift up a banner for the peoples!

11Indeed the Lord has proclaimed

To the end of the world:

“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Surely your salvation is coming;

Behold, His reward is with Him,

And His 62:11 recompensework before Him.’ ”

12And they shall call them The Holy People,

The Redeemed of the Lord;

And you shall be called Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.
