“Put on Thy Strength, O Zion”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Jehovah here “had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel [that is, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saint; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage [see D&C 52:2; D&C 86:8-10]; also to return to that power which she had lost (D&C 113:8, see also Bruce R. McConkie, New Witness, p. 572).”
