6 On your walls , O Jerusalem , I have appointed watchmen ; All day and all night they will never keep silent . You who remind the Lord , take no rest for yourselves; 7 And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth . 8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm , "I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies ; Nor will foreigners e drink your new wine for which you have labored ." 9 But those who garner it will eat it and praise the Lord ; And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary .

Commentary on Isaiah 62:6-9
(Read Isaiah 62:6-9)
God's professing people must be a praying people. He is not displeased with us for being earnest, as men commonly are; he bids us to cry after him, and give him no rest, Luke 11:5,6. It is a sign that God is coming to a people in mercy, when he pours out a spirit of prayer upon them. See how uncertain our creature-comforts are. See also God's mercy in giving plenty, and peace to enjoy it. Let us delight in attending the courts of the Lord, that we may enjoy the consolations of his Spirit.
