10 Behold, the Lord [a]God will come (A)with might,
With His (B)arm ruling for Him.
Behold, His (C)reward is with Him
And His recompense before Him.
11 Like a shepherd He will (D)tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry them in His bosom;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

12 Who has (E)measured the [b]waters in the hollow of His hand,
And marked off the heavens by the [c]span,
And [d]calculated the dust of the earth by the measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales?
