The Coming of Zion’s King

“Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion;
    cry out, daughter of Jerusalem!
Look! Your king is coming to you.
    He is righteous,
        and he is able to save.
He is humble,
    and is riding on a colt,
        the foal of a donkey.
10 I will banish[a] chariots from Ephraim
    and horses from Jerusalem.
War weapons[b] will be banished,
    and your king[c] will speak peace to the nations.
His dominion will extend from sea to sea,
    and from the River to the farthest portion of the earth.

11 Now concerning you and my blood covenant with you,
    I have liberated your prisoners
        from a waterless pit.
