The Lord’s Plan

“In that day,” declares the Lord,

“I will gather the lame;(A)
    I will assemble the exiles(B)
    and those I have brought to grief.(C)
I will make the lame my remnant,(D)
    those driven away a strong nation.(E)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(F)
    from that day and forever.(G)
As for you, watchtower of the flock,
    stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(H) to you;
    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(I)

Zion’s Future Triumph

“In that day,” says the Lord,
(A)“I will assemble the lame,
(B)I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
I will make the lame (C)a remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord (D)will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”

“On that day,” declares the Lord,
“I will assemble those who (A)limp
And (B)gather the scattered,
Those whom I have afflicted.
I will make those who limp a (C)remnant,
And those who [a]have strayed a mighty nation,
And the (D)Lord will reign over them on Mount Zion
From now on and forever.
As for you, [b](E)tower of the flock,
[c]Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Yes, the (F)former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
