The Coming King of Zion

(A)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Make a loud shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your (B)king is coming to you;
He is [a](C)righteous and (D)endowed with salvation,
[b](E)Lowly and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a [c](F)colt, the [d]foal of a pack animal.
10 I will (G)cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the (H)horse from Jerusalem;
And the (I)bow of war will be cut off.
And He will speak (J)peace to the nations;
And His (K)reign will be from sea to sea
And from the [e]River to the ends of the earth.

11 As for you also, because of the (L)blood of your covenant,
I have set your (M)prisoners free from the [f]waterless pit.
