Isaiah 52:7-9

How lovely on the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings ^(A)good news,
Who announces ^(a)peace
And brings good news of ^(b)happiness,
Who announces salvation,
And says to Zion, “Your ^(B)God ^(c)reigns!”

Listen! Your watchmen lift up their ^(C)voices,
They shout joyfully together;
For they will see ^(d)with their own eyes
When the Lord restores Zion.

^(D)Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You ^(E)waste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has ^(F)redeemed Jerusalem.
