Try This Yourself

There are some verses in Isaiah (62:1-5) where Zion receives a new name. For a little exercise, as we are new creations ("Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17), try it with your name!

By the way, Hephzibah was the wife of King Hezekiah, and the mother of King Manasseh. It means "my delight is in her", and it's a symbolic name of Zion, as representing the Lord's favor toward her. Beulah means "married", which symbolically means favored and blessed of the Lord.

Zion's New Name
1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

3 You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

4 No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.

5 As a young man marries a maiden,
so will your sons marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.

So, here's the exercise with MY name!

Lisa's New Name
1 For Lisa's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.

2 The nations will see Lisa's righteousness,
and all kings Lisa's glory;
Lisa will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

3 Lisa will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of Lisa's God.

4 No longer will they call Lisa Deserted,
or name Lisa's land Desolate.
But Lisa will be called Hephzibah, and Lisa's land Beulah
for the LORD will take delight in Lisa,
and Lisa's land will be married.

5 As a young man marries a maiden,
so will Lisa's sons marry Lisa;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will Lisa's God rejoice over Lisa.

All for now,
Lisa
