The Coming King of Zion 9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
   Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
   righteous and having salvation is he,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
   on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
   and the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
   and he shall speak peace to the nations;
his rule shall be from sea to sea,
   and from the RiverThat is, the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
   I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
   today I declare that I will restore to you double.
