For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the [a]groom rejoices over the bride,
So your (A)God will rejoice over you.

On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed (B)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (C)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
And (D)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (E)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.

  1. Isaiah 62:5 Lit joy of the groom is over

As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(A) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(B) over you.

I have posted watchmen(C) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,(D)
and give him no rest(E) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(F) of the earth.
