As a young man marries a pure young woman,
    so your sons will marry you, Jerusalem.[a]
Your God will be very happy that you belong to him,
    as a bridegroom is happy with his new wife.
I have put guards on your walls, Jerusalem.
They should never be quiet,
    during the day and during the night.
You people who cause the Lord to remember his promises,
    never stop and rest!
Do not give the Lord a chance to rest,
    until he has made Jerusalem strong again.
Continue to pray until he makes it a famous city
    that the whole world will praise.
