Speak, all men, of God's majesty, * sing his praises in Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, holy city, * God scourged you for the idols you made, * yet he will pity once more your innocent children.

    Praise the Lord for his goodness, * and bless the King of the ages!

    For you will see again with joy * his home rebuilt in your midst.

       He will bring back your people who were captives, * and make them glad within you.

       He will show love to those who were distressed * for all generations to come.

           A bright light will shine * over every part of the world.

               People will come to you from far away, * people from everywhere, * because they heard what the Lord did for you.

           They will come with gifts in their hands, * gifts for the King of heaven.

       Your people for ages to come * will tell how happy they are.

       Everyone will always know * that God has chosen you.

    Come now, and rejoice, Jerusalem, * over your innocent children.

    For they will all be gathered within you * and will bless the Lord of the ages.

How happy are those who love you, * who rejoice because of your prosperity.

Happy also are those who mourned * over all the punishment your suffered,

for they will soon rejoice in you, * seeing your joy forever.
