How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the herald,
who proclaims peace,
who brings news of good things,(A)
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (B)
The voices of your watchmen(C)
they lift up their voices,
shouting for joy together;
for every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.
Be joyful, rejoice together,
you ruins of Jerusalem!(D)
For the Lord has comforted his people;(E)
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has displayed his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;(F)
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.(G)

How beautiful on the mountains
    are the feet of the messenger who brings good news,
the good news of peace and salvation,
    the news that the God of Israel[a] reigns!
The watchmen shout and sing with joy,
    for before their very eyes
    they see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.[b]
Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song,
    for the Lord has comforted his people.
    He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has demonstrated his holy power
    before the eyes of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth will see
    the victory of our God.
