1. Because I love Zion,I will not keep still.Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,I cannot remain silent.I will not stop praying for heruntil her righteousness shines like the dawn,and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
2. The nations will see your righteousness.World leaders will be blinded by your glory.And you will be given a new nameby the lord’s own mouth.
3. The lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—a splendid crown in the hand of God.
4. Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”or “The Desolate Land.”Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”and “The Bride of God,”for the lord delights in youand will claim you as his bride.
