Judgment falls on foreign cities across the chapter’s first eight verses before a king enters lowly and riding on a donkey to speak peace to the nations.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem
Behold, your king comes to you He is just and having salvation Lowly and riding upon a donkey Even upon a colt the foal of a donkey
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem The battle bow shall be cut off He shall speak peace to the nations
His dominion shall be from sea even to sea From the river even to the ends of the earth As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant I have sent forth your prisoners out of the pit
Turn you to the stronghold You prisoners of hope Even today do I declare that I will render double unto you
For Judah, I have bent Ephraim for me I have filled the bow with Ephraim I will stir up your sons, O Zion
The LORD shall be seen over them His arrow shall go forth as the lightning The Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet
They shall be as mighty men in battle Tread down the enemy in the mire of the streets They shall fight because the LORD is with them
In that day the LORD their God will save them As the flock of his people They shall be as the stones of a crown
