: You are translating "Od yishama...." as a prayer, "May it be Your will that 
:  the joyous sounds will be heard again in Yerushalayim...."

I was referring to Sheva Berakhos, where the words are "Meheirah H'
E-lokeinu, yishama be'arei Yehudah". Sorry for including the word "od",
which isn't in the berakhah. So, my question stands WRT the berakhah,
and that's the "we still ask". The pasuq was written when it was written.

So, I ask again, how can we ask Hashem "May there soon be heard in the
cities of Judea and the outdoors of J-m ... the sounds of a chasan and
sounds of a kalah" when they're heard there already?

Tir'u baTov!
