    I will set up camp around my house,
    as a guard against those passing back and forth.
    The oppressor will never again march over them,
    because now I am watching with my own eyes.

Your Savior and King Is Coming!

Rejoice greatly, Daughter of Zion!
    Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
    Look! Your King is coming to you.
    He is righteous and brings salvation.
    He is humble and is riding on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
    and the horse from Jerusalem.
    The battle bow will be taken away,
    and he will proclaim peace to the nations.
    His kingdom will extend from sea to sea,
    from the River[a] to the ends of the earth.
