Sharing Scripture (8)




Isaiah 62:1-5 NLT
Isaiah's Prayer For Jerusalem

A beautiful prayer
of worship,
of love,
of care,
of want,
of need.
(A model of any subject.)










Isaiah 62

Isaiah's Prayer for Jerusalem
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.
5 Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
   just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
   as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
