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.

  2. 52:8 Hebrew to Zion.

How lovely on the mountains
Are the feet of him who proclaims (A)good news,
Who [a]announces [b]peace
And proclaims good news of good things,
Who [c]announces salvation,
And says to Zion, “Your (B)God [d]reigns!”
The voice of Your watchmen! They lift up their (C)voices;
They shout joyfully together;
For they will see [e]with their own eyes
When Yahweh returns to Zion.
(D)Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You (E)waste places of Jerusalem;
For Yahweh has comforted His people;
He has (F)redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Yahweh has bared His holy (G)arm
In the sight of all the nations,
[f]That (H)all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
