Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
    just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
    as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;
    they will pray day and night, continually.
    Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work,
    until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.

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.
