6The Lord says, “At that time,

I will gather the crippled;

I will bring together those who were sent away,

those whom I caused to have trouble.

7I will keep alive those who were crippled,

and I will make a strong nation of those who were sent away.

The Lord will be their king in Mount Zion from now on and forever.

8And you, watchtower of the flocks, n hill of Jerusalem,

to you will come the kingdom as in the past.

Jerusalem, the right to rule will come again to you.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

In that day, declares the Lord,

I will assemble the lame

and gather those who have been driven away

and those whom I have afflicted;

and 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

from this time forth and forevermore.

And you, O tower of the flock,

hill of the daughter of Zion,

to you shall it come,

the former dominion shall come,

kingship for the daughter of Jerusalem.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“In that day,” declares the Lord,

“I will gather the lame;

I will assemble the exiles

and those I have brought to grief.

I will make the lame my remnant,

those driven away a strong nation.

The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion

from that day and forever.

As for you, watchtower of the flock,

stronghold of Daughter Zion,

the former dominion will be restored to you;

kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

On that day—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

I will assemble the lame

and gather the scattered,

those I have injured.

I will make the lame into a remnant,

those far removed into a strong nation.

Then the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion

from this time on and forever.

And you, watchtower for the flock,

fortified hill of Daughter Zion,

the former rule will come to you;

sovereignty will come to Daughter Jerusalem.

NLTNew Living Translation

“In that coming day,” says the Lord,

“I will gather together those who are lame,

those who have been exiles,

and those whom I have filled with grief.

Those who are weak will survive as a remnant;

those who were exiles will become a strong nation.

Then I, the Lord, will rule from Jerusalem

as their king forever.”

As for you, Jerusalem,

the citadel of God’s people,

your royal might and power

will come back to you again.

The kingship will be restored

to my precious Jerusalem.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“In that day,” declares Yahweh,

“I will assemble the one who limps,

and I will gather the one who has been scattered,

and those whom I have mistreated.

And I will make the one who limps a remnant,

and the one driven far away a strong nation,

and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion

from now to forever.

And you, O Migdal-Eder,

hill of the daughter of Zion,

to you it will come,

and the former dominion will come,

the reign of the daughter of Jerusalem.

KJV 1900King James Version

In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth,

And I will gather her that is driven out,

And her that I have afflicted;

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.

And thou, O tower of the flock,

The strong hold of the daughter of Zion,

Unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion;

The kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
