10 I rejoice exceedingly in Jehovah;
my soul delights in my God.
For he clothes me in garments of salvation,
he arrays me in a robe of righteousness—
like a bridegroom dressed in priestly attire,
or a bride adorned with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its vegetation,
and as a garden causes what is sown to spring up in it,
so will my Lord Jehovah
cause righteousness and praise to spring up
in the presence of all nations.
1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent;
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain still
till her righteousness shines like a light,
her salvation like a flaming torch.
2 The nations shall behold your righteousness
and all their rulers your glory;
you shall be called by a new name
conferred by the mouth of Jehovah.
3 Then shall you be a crown of glory
in the hand of Jehovah,
a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4 You shall no more be called the forsaken one,
nor your land referred to as desolate;
you shall be known as her in whom I delight
and your land considered espoused.
For Jehovah shall delight in you,
and your land shall be espoused.
5 As a young man weds a virgin,
so shall your sons wed you;
as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have appointed watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,
who shall not be silent day or night.
You who call upon Jehovah, let not up
7 nor give him respite till he reestablishes Jerusalem
and makes it renowned in the earth.
8 Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, his mighty arm:
I will no more let your grain be food for your enemies,
nor shall foreigners drink the new wine you have toiled for.
9 Those who harvest it shall eat it,
giving praise to Jehovah;
those who gather it shall drink it
within the environs of my sanctuary.
