What is the source of the popular song Od Yeshama?

I tried searching for "עוד ישמע בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְחֻצוֹת" and did not find anything.

I am asking because I was wondering if it should be pronounced יְרוּשָׁלַ‍ִם or יְרוּשָׁלַ‍ִים? I was surprised that typing either into google did not yield the Posuk. I am now curious about the source for the song and the proper pronunciation.

Thanks!

  • Aha, so it is not a continuous phrase in the posukim. That is what I could not easily find it via google. When people sing it, I hear "וּבְחֻצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלַים", but it clearly says "יְרוּשָׁלִַם". Is it being sung incorrectly?

    The vowels of יְרוּשָׁלִַם are there to indicate that you should read it as if it were יְרוּשָׁלַיִם.
