In Zion

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth In Zion: declare among the people his doings.

That I may shew forth all thy praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice In thy salvation.

Do good In thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it In possession.

When 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 thy strength out of Zion: rule thou In the midst of thine enemies.

{A Song of degrees.} They that trust In the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

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.

• ZION
• Walking

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.

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:

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.

In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

The sinners In Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation In Zion for Israel my glory.

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth In one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman In travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set In array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.

Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell In a far country: Is not the LORD In Zion? is not her king In her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

Therefore they shall come and sing In the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye In the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten In Zion, and hath despised In the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire In Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

They ravished the women In Zion, and the maids In the cities of Judah.

Blow ye the trumpet In Zion, and sound an alarm In my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice In the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain In the first month.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for In mount Zion and In Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and In the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling In Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth In Zion.

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

And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them In mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

Be In pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman In travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell In the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

• Iron

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat In pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell In the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

• Church

Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell In the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
