Zion, you have good news to tell to people!
    So go up onto a high mountain.
Yes, Jerusalem, shout the good news!
    Shout aloud, and do not be afraid.
Say to the towns in Judah, ‘Here is your God!’
10 Look! The Almighty Lord is coming with power.
    He will use his great strength to rule the people.
Look again! He is bringing his gifts with him.
    He brings the prize that he has won in battle.
11 He takes care of his people,
    like a shepherd who takes care of his sheep.[a]
He picks up the young lambs
    and he carries them near to his heart.
He carefully leads the mother sheep that have lambs.
