As a young man marries a woman,
    so your children will marry your land.
As a man is very happy about his new wife,
    so your God will be happy with you.

Jerusalem, I have put guards on the walls to watch.
    They must not be silent day or night.
You people who remind the Lord
    should never be quiet.
You should not stop praying to the Lord until he builds up Jerusalem.
    Don’t stop until he makes Jerusalem a city all people will praise.

    so will your God rejoice(B) over you.

I have posted watchmen(C) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,(D)
and give him no rest(E) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(F) of the earth.
