Zion’s New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,o

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,

till her vindicationp shines out like the dawn,q

her salvationr like a blazing torch.

2 The nationss will see your vindication,

and all kings your glory;

you will be called by a new namet

that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

3 You will be a crownu of splendor in the Lord’s hand,

a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 No longer will they call you Deserted,v

or name your land Desolate.w

But you will be called Hephzibah,a x

and your land Beulahb;

for the Lord will take delighty in you,

and your land will be married.z

5 As a young man marries a young woman,

so will your Builder marry you;

as a bridegrooma rejoices over his bride,

so will your God rejoiceb over you.

6 I have posted watchmenc on your walls, Jerusalem;

they will never be silent day or night.

You who call on the Lord,

give yourselves no rest,d

7 and give him no reste till he establishes Jerusalem

and makes her the praisef of the earth.
