Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,[a]
    together they sing for joy;
for they will see in plain sight
    the return of the Lord to Zion with compassion.[b]

“Break forth together into singing,[c]
    you ruins of Jerusalem;
for the Lord has comforted his people,
    and[d] he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared his holy arm[e]
    in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth will see
    the salvation of our God.
