Barry & Batya Segal – Isaiah 62:6-7
On your walls O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen,
I have set watchmen,
On your walls O Jerusalem, Who shall never hold their peace,
Day or night, day or night, day or night, day or night
I have set watchmen on your walls
Until He establishes, and until He makes,
Jerusalem a praise in the earth,
You who make mention of the Lord,
Do not keep silent, Do not keep silent,
On your walls O Jerusalem, Who shall never hold their peace,
Al Chomotayeech, Al Chomotayeech
Al Chomotayeech, hifkadeti shomrim
