I am the first that saith unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

I was the first to tell Zion: ‘Look, here they are!’ And I gave to Jerusalem a herald of good news.

First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one proclaiming tidings I give,

The first, [I said] to Zion, Behold, behold them! and to Jerusalem, I will give one that bringeth glad tidings.
