52:6 For this reason my people will know my name,

for this reason they will know ¹  at that time ²  that I am the one who says,

‘Here I am.’”

52:7 How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains ³ 

the feet of a messenger who announces peace,

a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance,

who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” ⁴ 

52:8 Listen, ⁵  your watchmen shout;

in unison they shout for joy,

for they see with their very own eyes ⁶ 

the Lord’s return to Zion.
