9 Oh Yerushalem, the holy city,

he will scourge you for the works of your sons,

and will again have mercy on the sons of the righteous.

10 Give thanks to the master with goodness,

and bless the everlasting King,

that his tabernacle may be built in you again with joy,

and that he may make glad in you those who are captives,

and love in you forever those who are miserable.

11 Many nations will come from afar to the name of the master God

with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven.

Generations of generations will praise you,

and sing songs of rejoicing.

12 All those who hate you are cursed.

All those who love you forever will be blessed.

13 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for the sons of the righteous;

for they will be gathered together and will bless the master of the righteous.

14 Oh blessed are those who love you.

They will rejoice for your peace.

Blessed are all those who mourned for all your scourges;

because they will rejoice for you when they have seen all your glory.

They will be made glad forever.

15 Let my soul bless God the great King.

16 Because Yerushalem (Jerusalem) will be built with sapphires, emeralds, and precious stones;

your walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.

17 The streets of Yerushalem will be paved with beryl, carbuncle, and stones of Ofir.

18 All her streets will say, “Hallelujah!”

and give praise, saying, “Blessed be God, who has exalted you forever!”
