Sorry to break up the love-in…
Just to nuance the previous comments from Jerry and Dave: While the clause in question is indeed a verbless clause, we need to remember that this is poetry not prose. As such, supplying a verb isn't requisite. It all depends on how you phrase it in English. Poetry is, after all, about using words and clauses in non-standard ways. Note the consistent use of weqatal verbs throughout v.10, which ties all the actions together into one big whole. I'd render the sections as something like this:
9. Celebrate greatly, Daughter Zion!Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!See your king comes to you,exonerated and freed.He is humble, and riding on a donkey,on an ass, the foal of she-asses,10. eliminating chariotry in Ephraim,and horse from Jerusalem,eliminating the bow of war,and promising peace to the nations,his dominion from sea to sea,from the River to the ends of the earth.
(Note: I've followed a textual emendation of the first word in 9.10, swapping the taw and yodh to render it 3ms rather than 1cs.)
