You who bring good news(A) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,[a](B)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”(C)
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes(D) with power,(E)
    and he rules(F) with a mighty arm.(G)
See, his reward(H) is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:(I)
    He gathers the lambs in his arms(J)
and carries them close to his heart;(K)
    he gently leads(L) those that have young.(M)
