What a beautiful sight it is
    to see messengers coming with good news!
How beautiful to see them coming down from the mountains
    with a message about peace!
How wonderful it is when they bring the good news
    that we are saved!
How wonderful when they say to Zion,
    “Your God rules!”
Listen! Those on guard duty are shouting out the message.
    With their own eyes
they see the Lord returning to Zion.
    So they shout for joy.
Burst into songs of joy together,
    you broken-down buildings in Jerusalem.
The Lord has comforted his people.
    He has set Jerusalem free.
