62:6 I have set {h} watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which] shall never hold their peace day nor night: {i} ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
(h) Prophets, pastors and ministers.
(i) He exhorts the ministers never to cease to call on God by prayer for the deliverance of his Church and to teach others to do the same.
62:6 Day nor night - There shall be a vigilant and industrious ministry. Ye - That is, are his servants. And here especially are meant his servants in ordinary, his remembrancers, such as put God in mind of his promise, and such as make the Lord to be remembered, putting his people in mind of him.
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, Lu 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.
