who sits securely,
who says to herself,
‘I exist, and there is no one else.

may be brought into you,
with their kings being led in procession.

Violence will never again be heard of in your land;
devastation and destruction
will be gone from your borders.
But you will name your walls salvation
and your gates, praise.

I have appointed watchmen on your walls;
they will never be silent, day or night.

like those not called by Your name.
