Jerusalem, I ·have put guards [post watchmen] on your walls.
    They ·must not [or will never] be silent day or night.
You people who ·remind the Lord of your needs in prayer [or call on the Lord]
    should ·never be quiet [take no rest].
You should ·not stop praying to him [L give him no rest] until he builds up Jerusalem
    and makes it a city ·all people will praise [of praise/pride in the earth].

The Lord ·has made a promise [L swears by his right hand],
    and by his ·power he will keep his promise [L mighty arm].
He said, “I will never again give your grain
    as food to your enemies.
I will not let ·your enemies [foreigners] drink the new wine
    that you have worked to make.
