Isaiah’s Prayer for Jerusalem

1Because I love Zion,

I will not keep still.

Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,

I cannot remain silent.

I will not stop praying for her

until her righteousness shines like the dawn,

and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.

2The nations will see your righteousness.

World leaders will be blinded by your glory.

And you will be given a new name

by the Lord’s own mouth.

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,

until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,

and all the kings your glory,

and you shall be called by a new name

that the mouth of the Lord will give.

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,

and all kings your glory;

you will be called by a new name

that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

You will be given a new name

that the Lord’s mouth will announce.

and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude,

until her righteousness goes out like the bright light,

and her salvation burns like a torch.

And the nations shall see your righteousness,

and all the kings your glory,

and you will be called a new name

that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,

And the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

And all kings thy glory:

And thou shalt be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
