“For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.”
The affirmation that God will save Zion and rebuild the cities articulates that the rescue of individuals participates in the restoration of the entire covenant community. The reference to rebuilding suggests comprehensive renewal. The statement that servants of God will dwell there and possess it articulates that the renewed community will be populated by the righteous. This verse concludes the psalm with the vision of restoration extended to the entire people.
