Get yourself[a] up to a high mountain, Zion, bringer of good news!
    Lift up your voice with strength, Jerusalem, bringer of good news!
Lift it up; you must not fear!
    Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
10 Look! The Lord Yahweh comes with strength,[b]
    and his arm rules for him.
Look! His reward is with him,
    and his recompense in his presence.[c]
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd;
    he will gather the lambs in his arm,
and he will carry them in his bosom;
    he will lead those who nurse.
