9. Go up onto a high mountain,Zion, herald of good news!Cry out at the top of your voice,Jerusalem, herald of good news!Cry out, do not fear!Say to the cities of Judah:Here is your God!
10. Here comes with powerthe Lord God,who rules by his strong arm;Here is his reward with him,his recompense before him.
11. Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;in his arms he gathers the lambs,Carrying them in his bosom,leading the ewes with care.
12. Who has measured with his palm the waters,marked off the heavens with a span,held in his fingers the dust of the earth,weighed the mountains in scalesand the hills in a balance?
