"The voice of your watchmen- they raised a voice, together they shall sing, for eye to eye they shall see when the Lord returns to Zion."

"Your Watchmen" are those individuals whose hearts are pained within them, murmuring, yearning for G-d to heal the blemishes of their heart within this world, each and every individual according to their own particular lack. The prophet comes to assure that in the future, these watchmen will join their voices together, joyously announcing the direct vision of their redemption. When they meet each other, they will say to one another with great joy: "my friend, you wouldn't believe the lack I struggled with, that I was forced to burden, and now I am finally finding redemption". And their friend will respond to them: "I also experienced redemption from the particular lack that I struggled with, that I was forced to burden in this world".

Then "together they shall sing" as each one will take joy in the redemption of their friend, for they are all part of the collective, and the collective redemption is found within each particular, just as the particular redemption is within the collective.
קוֹל צוֹפַיִךְ נָשְׂאוּ קּוֹל יַחְדָּו יְרַנֵּנוּ כִּי עַיִן בְּעַיִן יִרְאוּ בְּשׁוּב ה' צִיּוֹן. "צוֹפַיִךְ" נִקְרְאוּ הַנְּפָשׁוֹת שֶׁלִּבָּם דּוֹאֵג בְּקִרְבָּם וְהוֹמִים וּמְצַפִּים בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה שֶׁהַשי"ת יִרְפָּא אֶת נִגְעֵי לְבָבָם לְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד בְּמַה שֶּׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ חֶסְרוֹן, וְעַל זֶה מַבְטִיחַ הַנָּבִיא שֶׁלֶּעָתִיד יִשְׂאוּ קוֹל יַחְדָּו יְרַנֵּנוּ כִּי עַיִן בְּעַיִן יִרְאוּ יְשׁוּעָתָם, וּכְשֶׁיִּפָּגְשׁוּ אִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ יֹאמַר אִישׁ לְאָחִיו בְּשִׂמְחָה רַבָּה, דַּע אָחִי שֶׁבָּזֶה הַחֶסְרוֹן שֶׁסָּבַלְתִּי בָּזֶה הָעוֹלָם וְכָעֵת נוֹשַׁעְתִּי מִזֶּה, וַחֲבֵירוֹ יוֹדִיעַ גַּם לוֹ שֶׁגַּם הוּא הָיָה לוֹ יְשׁוּעָה בְּחֶסְרוֹנוֹ שֶׁסָּבַל בָּזֶה הָעוֹלָם, וְאָז "יַחְדָּו יְרַנֵּנוּ" שֶׁכָּל אֶחָד יִשְׂמַח גַּם מִיְּשׁוּעַת חֲבֵירוֹ, שֶׁכָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵם כְּלָל אֶחָד וּכְלַל הַיְשׁוּעָה הוּא בְּכָל פְּרָט, וּפְרַט הַיְשׁוּעָה הוּא בְּכָל הַכְּלָל.
