Who Hates Zion?
Commentators explain that "Zion" represents the Church, the people of God. Therefore, those who "hate Zion" are not just ancient political enemies, but all who oppose God's people, His Messiah (Jesus), the truth of the Gospel, and the righteous ways of His kingdom. The verse is a prayer against all forms of opposition to God's redemptive work in the world.
