Isaiah 62:6
Compare all
4 aYou shall no longer be termed bForsaken,
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. 
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
aSo shall your God rejoice over you. 
6 aI have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall1 never hold their peace day or night.
You who1 make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, 
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem aa praise in the earth. 
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
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. 
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it ain My holy courts.”

Isaiah 62:6

I—Isaiah speaking in the person of the Messiah.

watchmen upon . . . walls—image from the watches set upon a city's wall to look out for the approach of a messenger with good tidings (Isaiah 52:7-8); the good tidings of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, prefiguring the return from the present dispersion (compare Isaiah 21:6-11; Isaiah 56:10; Ezekiel 3:17; Ezekiel 33:7). The watches in the East are announced by a loud cry to mark the vigilance of the watchmen.

ye that . . . mention . . . Lord—Hebrew, "ye that are the Lord's remembrancers"; God's servants who by their prayers "put God in remembrance" of His promises (Isaiah 43:26); we are required to remind God, as if God could, which He cannot, forget His promises (Psalms 119:49; Jeremiah 14:21).
