6 “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[a] of Daughter Zion,

the former dominion will be restored to you;

    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.”
