(A)Be cheerful, shout joyfully together,
You (B)ruins of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has (C)redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared His holy (D)arm
In the sight of all the nations,
[a]So that (E)all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.

11 (F)Depart, depart, go out from there,
(G)Do not touch what is unclean;
Go out of the midst of her, (H)purify yourselves,
You who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 But you will not go out in (I)a hurry,
Nor will you go [b]as fugitives;
For the (J)Lord will go before you,
And (K)the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
