Isaiah 40:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Get you up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;[a]
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good news;[b]
lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!”(A)
10 See, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
his reward is with him
and his recompense before him.(B)
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms
and carry them in his bosom
and gently lead the mother sheep.(C)
Isaiah 40:9-11
International Standard Version
Here is Your God
9 “Climb up a high mountain,
you messenger of good news to Zion!
Lift up your voice with strength,
you messenger to Jerusalem!
Lift it up!
Don’t be afraid!
Say to the towns of Judah,
‘Here is your God!’
10 Look! The Lord God comes with strength,
and his arm[a] rules for him.
Look! His reward is with him,
and his payment accompanies him.
11 Like a shepherd, he tends his flock.
He gathers the lambs in his arms,
carries them close to his heart,
and gently leads the mother sheep.”
