O Jerusalem, the holy city,
    he afflicted[a] you for the deeds of your hands[b]
    but will again have mercy on the children of the righteous.(A)
10 Acknowledge the Lord worthily,
    and bless the King of the ages,
    so that your tent[c] may be rebuilt for you[d] with joy.
May he cheer all those within you who are captives
    and love all those within you who are distressed,
    to all generations forever.(B)
11 A bright light will shine to all the remotest parts of the earth;
    many nations will come to you from far away,
the inhabitants of the ends of the earth to your holy name,
    bearing gifts in their hands for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will give joyful praise in you;
    the name of the chosen city will endure forever.(C)
