The watchmen shout and sing with joy,
    for before their very eyes
    they see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.[a]
Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song,
    for the Lord has comforted his people.
    He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has demonstrated his holy power
    before the eyes of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth will see
    the victory of our God.
