Original text and translations

Latin text Quam pulchri super montes pedes evangelizantis et prædicantis pacem: adnuntiantis bonum, prædicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: Regnavit Deus tuus! Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul laudabunt, quia oculum ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion.

English translation How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him, that declareth and publisheth peace: that declareth good tidings, and publisheth salvation, saying unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! The voice of thy watchmen shall be heard: they shall lift up their voice, and shout together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. (Geneva Bible)
