Climb to the top of a high mountain,
    O Zion, herald of good tidings.
Cry out as loudly as you can,
    O Jerusalem, herald of good news.
Lift up your voice without fear
    and proclaim to the cities of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”
10 See the Lord God approaching with power,
    he who rules with his powerful arm.
His reward is with him
    and his recompense[a] is before him.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd,
    and in his arms he will gather the lambs,
carrying them in his bosom
    and gently leading the pregnant ewes to water.
