52:7 How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains 1
the feet of a messenger who announces peace,
a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” 2
52:8 Listen, 3 your watchmen shout;
in unison they shout for joy,
for they see with their very own eyes 4
the Lord’s return to Zion.
52:9 In unison give a joyful shout,
O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord consoles his people;
he protects 5 Jerusalem.
