The grass withers and the flowers(A) fall,
    but the word(B) of our God endures(C) forever.(D)

You who bring good news(E) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,[a](F)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”(G)
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes(H) with power,(I)
    and he rules(J) with a mighty arm.(K)
See, his reward(L) is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.
