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)

Go up on a high mountain,

    coming with strength,
    with a triumphant arm,
    bringing his reward with him
    and his payment before him.
11 Like a shepherd, God will tend the flock;
    he will gather lambs in his arms
    and lift them onto his lap.
    He will gently guide the nursing ewes.
