Isaiah 52:7-10

7 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!’

8 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.

9 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.

10 The Lord has shown all the nations how strong he is.

They can all see his holy power.

People all over the world will know

that our God has rescued his people.
