62:2
And the nations shall see thy triumph, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall mark out.
62:3
Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the open hand of thy God.
62:4
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, Espoused; for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.
62:5
For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

62:7
And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.'
62:8
the Lord hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured;
62:9
