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.”

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.
The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength:
    “I will never again hand you over to your enemies.
Never again will foreign warriors come
    and take away your grain and new wine.
You raised the grain, and you will eat it,
    praising the Lord.
Within the courtyards of the Temple,
    you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed.”
