Settings

6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set 1watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it 2a praise in the earth.
8 The LORD has sworn 3by his right hand and by his mighty arm: "I will not again give 4your grain to be food for your enemies, 5and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored;
9 but 6those who garner it shall eat it and praise the LORD, and 7those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."[a]
10 Go through, go through the gates; 8prepare the way for the people; 9build up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; 10lift up a signal over the peoples.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: 11Say to the daughter of Zion, 12"Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him."
12 13And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; 14and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
