MSB ISA Chapter 62

Zion’s Salvation and New Name

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still,

until her righteousness shines like a bright light,

her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 

Nations will see your righteousness,

and all kings your glory.

You will be called by a new name

that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

3 

You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,

a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

4 

No longer will you be called Forsaken,[fn]

nor your land named Desolate;[fn]

but you will be called vvv Hephzibah,[fn]

and your land Beulah;[fn]

for the LORD will take delight in you,

and your land will be His bride.

5 

For as a young man marries a young woman,

so your sons will marry you;

and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

6 

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen;

they will never be silent day or night

You who call on the LORD

shall take no rest for yourselves,

7 

nor give Him any rest

until He establishes Jerusalem

and makes her the praise of the earth.

8 

The LORD has sworn by His right hand

and by His mighty arm:

“ Never again will I give your grain

to your enemies for food,

nor will foreigners drink the new wine

for which you have toiled.

9 

For those who harvest [grain]

will eat it and praise the LORD,

and those who gather [grapes]

will drink the wine in My holy courts.”

10 

Go out, go out through the gates;

prepare the way for the people!

Build it up, build up the highway;

clear away the stones;

raise a banner for the nations!

11 

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed

to the ends of the earth,

“Say to Daughter Zion:

See, your Savior comes!

Look, His reward is with Him,

and His recompense goes before Him.”

12 

And they will be called the Holy People,

the Redeemed of The LORD;

and you will be called Sought Out,

A City Not Forsaken.
