Zion's Coming Salvation

62 (A)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
(B)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
(C)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
(D)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
You shall be (E)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
(F)You shall no more be termed (G)Forsaken,[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
(H)but you shall be called (I)My Delight Is in Her,[c]
    and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so (J)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so (K)shall your God rejoice over you.

Zion’s New Name

62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(A)
    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
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.
No longer will they call you Deserted,(H)
    or name your land Desolate.(I)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](J)
    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(K) in you,
    and your land will be married.(L)
As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(M) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(N) over you.
