English Standard Version

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,

till her vindication shines out like the dawn,

her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 The nations will see your vindication,

and all kings your glory;

you will be called by a new name

that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.

3 You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand,

a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 No longer will they call you Deserted,

or name your land Desolate.

But you will be called Hephzibah,

and your land Beulah;

for the Lord will take delight in you,

and your land will be married.

1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,

And the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness,

And all kings thy glory:

And thou shalt be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;

Neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:

But thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah,

And thy land Beulah:

For the Lord delighteth in thee,

And thy land shall be married.

1 Because I love Zion,

I will not keep still.

Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,

I cannot remain silent.

I will not stop praying for her

until her righteousness shines like the dawn,

and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.

2 The nations will see your righteousness.

World leaders will be blinded by your glory.

And you will be given a new name

by the Lord’s own mouth.

3 The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—

a splendid crown in the hand of God.

4 Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”

or “The Desolate Land.”

Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”

and “The Bride of God,”

for the Lord delights in you

and will claim you as his bride.

1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,

And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

2 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory.

You shall be called by a new name,

Which the mouth of the Lord will name.

3 You shall also be a crown of glory

In the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,

Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;

But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah;

For the Lord delights in you,

And your land shall be married.

1 Because I love Jerusalem, I will continue to speak for her;

for Jerusalem’s sake I will not stop speaking

until her goodness shines like a bright light,

until her salvation burns bright like a flame.

2 Jerusalem, the nations will see your goodness,

and all kings will see your glory.

Then you will have a new name,

which the Lord himself will give you.

3 You will be like a beautiful crown in the Lord’s hand,

like a king’s crown in your God’s hand.

4 You will never again be called the People that God Left,

nor your land the Land that God Destroyed.

You will be called the People God Loves,

and your land will be called the Bride of God,

because the Lord loves you.

And your land will belong to him as a bride belongs to her husband.

1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth. 2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name. 3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

1 For Zion’s sake I will not remain silent. 

For Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, 

until its righteousness shines like the dawn 

and its salvation burns brightly like a torch. 

2 The nations will see your righteousness. 

All kings will see your glory. 

You will be given a new name 

that the Lord will announce. 

3 Then you will be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord, 

a royal crown in the hand of your God. 

4 You will no longer be called Deserted, 

and your land will no longer be called Destroyed. 

But you will be named My Delight, 

and your land will be named Married. 

The Lord is delighted with you, 

and your land will be married. 

1 I will not keep silent because of Zion,

and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem,

until her righteousness shines like a bright light

and her salvation, like a flaming torch.

2 Nations will see your righteousness

and all kings, your glory.

You will be called by a new name

that the Lord’s mouth will announce.

3 You will be a glorious crown in the Lord’s hand,

and a royal diadem in the palm of your God.

4 You will no longer be called Deserted,

and your land will not be called Desolate;

instead, you will be called My Delight is in Her,

and your land Married;

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land will be married.

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,

until her vindication shines out like the dawn

and her salvation like a burning torch.

2 The nations shall see your vindication

and all the kings your glory,

and you shall be called by a new name

that the mouth of the Lord will give.

3 You shall be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,

and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,

but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her

and your land Married,

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

1 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,

and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude,

until her righteousness goes out like the bright light,

and her salvation burns like a torch.

2 And the nations shall see your righteousness,

and all the kings your glory,

and you will be called a new name

that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.

3 And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,

and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.

4 It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,”

and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”

but you will be called “My Delight Is In Her,”

and your land, “Married,”

for Yahweh delights in you,

and your land shall be married.

1 The Lord says, “For the good of Zion I will not keep silent.

For Jerusalem’s benefit I will not remain quiet.

I will not keep silent until its people’s godliness

shines like the sunrise.

I will not remain quiet until they are saved

and shine like a blazing torch.

2 Jerusalem, the nations will see

that I have made everything right for you.

All of their kings will see your glory.

You will be called by a new name.

I myself will give it to you.

3 You will be like a glorious crown in my strong hand.

You will be like a royal crown in my powerful hand.

4 People will not call you Deserted anymore.

They will no longer name your land Empty.

Instead, you will be called The One the Lord Delights In.

Your land will be named The Married One.

I will take delight in you.

And your land will be like a bride.

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,

And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,

Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,

And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

2 The nations will see your righteousness,

And all kings your glory;

And you will be called by a new name

Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.

3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,

And a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,”

Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “Desolate”;

But you will be called, “My delight is in her,”

And your land, “Married”;

For the Lord delights in you,

And to Him your land will be married.
