How wonderful it is to see someone coming over the hills to tell good news. How wonderful to hear him announce, “There is peace! We have been saved!” and to hear him say to Zion, “Your God is the king!”

The city guards[a] are shouting.
    They are all rejoicing together.
They can all see the Lord returning to Zion.

Ruins of Jerusalem, be happy again!
Rejoice because the Lord
    comforted his people and set Jerusalem free.
