Somebody is coming across the mountains
    to bring good news to us!
It is a beautiful thing to see him run towards us!
He has come to tell us that there will be peace,
    because God will save our city.
He says to Zion,
    ‘Your God rules as king!’
Listen! The guards on the city's walls are shouting!
    They all shout together with joy!
They can see for themselves
    that the Lord is returning to Zion.
Jerusalem, your buildings have become heaps of stones,
    but now you can all shout together with joy!
Sing aloud, because the Lord has comforted his people.
    He has made Jerusalem safe again.

for the Lord has comforted(L) his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.(M)
