10 “Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness,
    and bless the King of the ages,
    so that his tabernacle may be rebuilt with joy within you.
May he offer comfort to all of your exiles,
    and may he love all those within you who are in distress
    for all generations to come.

The New Jerusalem, Light of the Nations

11 “A bright light will shine over all the regions of the earth;
    many nations will come to you from afar,
drawn to your holy name, Lord God, from every corner of the earth,
    bearing gifts in their hands for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will give joyful praise to you,
    and the name of your chosen city will endure forever through all ages.
12 Accursed are all who speak a harsh word against you;
    accursed are all who destroy you
    and pull down your walls,
all who overthrow your towers
    and set your homes on fire;
    but blessed forever are all those who rebuild you.
