Zion, herald of good news,
go up on a high mountain.(A)
Jerusalem, herald of good news,(B)
raise your voice loudly.
Raise it, do not be afraid!
Say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!” (C)
10 See, the Lord God comes with strength,
and his power establishes his rule.(D)
His wages are with him,(E)
and his reward accompanies him.
11 He protects his flock like a shepherd;(F)
he gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them in the fold of his garment.
He gently leads those that are nursing.

his reward is with him
    and his recompense before him.(B)

    he will gather the lambs in his arms
and carry them in his bosom
    and gently lead the mother sheep.(C)
