(A)How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, (B)who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
The voice of (C)your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
(D)for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
(E)Break forth together into singing,
    (F)you waste places of Jerusalem,
for (G)the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 (H)The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
(I)and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.

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.
