And of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her; And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”

Zion hears and is glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

The Lord is great in Zion, And He is high above all the peoples.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.

For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.

To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem,

The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

The Lord the Strength of His People

A Song of Ascents.

Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

A Joyful Return to Zion

A Song of Ascents.

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream.

The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life.

Song of Victory over Zion’s Enemies

A Song of Ascents.

“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say—

Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.

The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion

A Song of Ascents.

Lord, remember David And all his afflictions;

For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:

It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.

The Lord who made heaven and earth Bless you from Zion!

Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!

Longing for Zion in a Foreign Land

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.

For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

The Lord shall reign forever— Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.

So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.

Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her penitents with righteousness.
