7. How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountainsthe feet of a messenger who announces peace,a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance,who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8. Listen, your watchmen shout;in unison they shout for joy,for they see with their very own eyesthe Lord’s return to Zion.
9. In unison give a joyful shout,O ruins of Jerusalem!For the Lord consoles his people;he protects Jerusalem.
10. The Lord reveals his royal powerin the sight of all the nations;the entire earth seesour God deliver.
11. Leave! Leave! Get out of there!Don’t touch anything unclean!Get out of it! Stay pure, you who carry the Lord’s holy items!
