62:1 “For the sake of Zion I will not be silent;
for the sake of Jerusalem 1 I will not be quiet,
until her vindication shines brightly 2
and her deliverance burns like a torch.”
62:6 I 3 post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they should keep praying all day and all night. 4
You who pray to 5 the Lord, don’t be silent!
