Assurance of Zion’s Salvation
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
And all bkings your glory.
cYou shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
Nor shall your land any more be termed cDesolate;
But you shall be called1 Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
aSo shall your God rejoice over you.
They shall1 never hold their peace day or night.
You who1 make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer agive your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ain My holy courts.”
Go through the gates!
aPrepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
bLift up a banner for the peoples!
To the end of the world:
a“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His breward is with Him,
And His1 work before Him.’ ”
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
| << Isaiah 61:11 | Isaiah 62:2 >> |
