The lame I will make the remnant,
    and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
    now and for evermore.

And you, O tower of the flock,
    hill of daughter Zion,
to you it shall come,
    the former dominion shall come,
    the sovereignty of daughter Jerusalem.

Now why do you cry aloud?
    Is there no king in you?
Has your counsellor perished,
    that pangs have seized you like a woman in labour?

I will make the lame my remnant,(A)
    those driven away a strong nation.(B)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(C)
    from that day and forever.(D)
As for you, watchtower of the flock,
    stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(E) to you;
    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(F)

Why do you now cry aloud—
    have you no king[b](G)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
    that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(H)
