(A)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall [a]never hold their peace day or night.
You who [b]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (B)a praise in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (C)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (D)in My holy courts.”

10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
(E)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
(F)Lift up a banner for the peoples!

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
(G)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His (H)reward is with Him,
And His [c]work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
