Zion

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

¶ A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

¶ Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

¶ Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

¶ Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
