From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And give him no rest -Margin, ‘Silence.’ In Hebrew the same word (דמיdŏmiy) as inIsaiah 62:6. The idea is, ‘Keep not silence yourselves, nor let him rest in silence. Pray without ceasing; and do not intermit your efforts until the desires of your hearts shall be granted, and Zion shall be established, and the world saved.’ Till he establish -Until he shall establish Jerusalem, and restore it to its former rank and privileges. Till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth -That it may be the subject of universal commendation and rejoicing, instead of being an object of reproach and scorn.
