Proclamation
The Lord has chosen Jerusalem for His name to be there.1
His eyes and His heart will always be there.2
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.3
In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.”
The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.4
On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem. The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and His name the only name. Jerusalem will be secure.5
