7 How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of the herald,

who proclaims peace,

who brings news of good things,c

who proclaims salvation,

who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”d

8 The voices of your watchmene—

they lift up their voices,

shouting for joy together;

for every eye will see

when the Lord returns to Zion.

9 Be joyful, rejoice together,

you ruins of Jerusalem!f

For the Lord has comforted his people;g

he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The Lord has displayed his holy arm

in the sight of all the nations;h

all the ends of the earth will see

the salvation of our God.i

11 Leave, leave, go out from there!j

Do not touch anything unclean;

go out from her, purify yourselves,k

you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12 For you will not leave in a hurry,l

and you will not have to take flight;

because the Lord is going before you,m

and the God of Israel is your rear guard.n
