So your husband will shelter,
And as a Groom in his Bride,
Your GOD will rejoice over you.

On ]erusalem’s Walls I Hx watchmen by day and by night,
They never keep silence reminding the LORD,
They never are dumb,
They will give Him no rest,
Till He Bxes and places jerusalem the Glory of Earth.

‘ I will no more give your corn to your foes to devour;
Nor foreigners feast on the fruits that you cultured ;
But your reapers shall eat and give thanks to the LORD,
