The Coming King of Zion

(A)Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
    Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
(B)Behold, (C)your king is coming to you;
    righteous and having salvation is he,
(D)humble and mounted on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 (E)I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
    and (F)the war horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow shall be cut off,
    and (G)he shall speak peace to the nations;
(H)his rule shall be from sea to sea,
    and from (I)the River[a] to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you also, because of (J)the blood of my covenant with you,
    (K)I will set your prisoners free from (L)the waterless pit.
12 Return to your stronghold, O (M)prisoners of hope;
    today I declare that (N)I will restore to you double.
13 For (O)I have bent Judah as my bow;
    I have made Ephraim its arrow.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, (P)O Greece,
    and wield you like a warrior's sword.
