I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
    They will never be silent day nor night.
You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,
    and give him no rest, until he establishes,
    and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
    and by the arm of his strength,
“Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies,
    and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh.
    Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;(A)
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.
Do not give him rest
until he establishes and makes Jerusalem
the praise of the earth.(B)

The Lord has sworn with his right hand
and his strong arm:
I will no longer give your grain
to your enemies for food,(C)
and foreigners will not drink the new wine
for which you have labored.
For those who gather grain will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine
in my holy courts.
