Jerusalem, the nations will see your righteousness.
    All their kings will see how great you are.
People will call you by a new name,
    which the Lord himself will give to you.
The Lord your God will hold you in his hand,
    and you will bring him honour.
You will be like his beautiful crown!
They will no longer call you by the name ‘Alone’.
    They will not call your land ‘Empty place’.
Instead, they will call you ‘The one that makes God happy’.
    The name of your land will be ‘Married’.
Yes, the Lord will be very happy with you.
    Your land will be his bride.

The nations(A) will see your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(B)
    that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
You will be a crown(C) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will they call you Deserted,(D)
    or name your land Desolate.(E)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](F)
    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(G) in you,
    and your land will be married.(H)
