¹⁸ For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with ^(A)vengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and ^(B)save you.”

⁹ “Rejoice ^(B)greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, ^(C)your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.
