7 ^aHow beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, ^bwho brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
8 The voice of ^cyour watchmen—they lift up their voice;
together they sing for joy;
^dfor eye to eye they see
the return of the Lord to Zion.
9 ^eBreak forth together into singing,
^fyou waste places of Jerusalem,
for ^gthe Lord has comforted his people;
he has redeemed Jerusalem.

^qand they shall languish no more.

Jeremiah 33:11

^t“‘Give thanks to the Lord of hosts,
for the Lord is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!’
^uFor I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the Lord.

14 ^vSing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
he has cleared away your enemies.
^wThe King of Israel, ^xthe Lord, is in your midst;
you shall never again fear evil.
16 ^yOn that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Fear not, O Zion;
^zlet not your hands grow weak.
17 ^aaThe Lord your God is in your midst,
^aba mighty one who will save;
^ache will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn ^adfor the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
19 Behold, at that time ^afI will deal
with all your oppressors.
And ^agI will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change ^ahtheir shame into ^aipraise
and renown in all the earth.
20 ^ajAt that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
^akwhen I restore your fortunes
before your eyes,” says the Lord.
