New Jerusalem: A City Full of Goodness

62 I love Zion,
    so I will continue to speak for her.
I love Jerusalem,
    so I will not stop speaking.
I will speak until goodness[a] shines like a bright light,
    until salvation burns bright like a flame.
Then all nations will see your goodness.
    All kings will see your honor.
Then you will have a new name
    that the Lord himself will give you.
You will be like a beautiful crown that the Lord holds up,
    like a king’s crown in the hand of your God.

Zion’s New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(A)

till her vindication(B) shines out like the dawn,(C)
    her salvation(D) like a blazing torch.
The nations(E) will see your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(F)
    that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
You will be a crown(G) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
