Therefore my people shall know my name
    on that day, that it is I who speaks: Here I am!
How beautiful upon the mountains[a]
    are the feet of the one bringing good news,
Announcing peace, bearing good news,
    announcing salvation, saying to Zion,
    “Your God is King!”(A)

    together they shout for joy,
For they see directly, before their eyes,
    the Lord’s return to Zion.(B)
