Your God Is Here!

There is good news
    for the city of Zion.
Shout it as loud as you can[a]
    from the highest mountain.
Don't be afraid to shout
to the towns of Judah:
    “Your God is here!”
10 (A) Look! The powerful Lord God
is coming to rule
    with his mighty arm.
He brings with him
what he has taken in war,
    and he rewards his people.
11 (B) The Lord cares for his nation,
just as shepherds care
    for their flocks.
He carries the lambs
    in his arms,
while gently leading
    the mother sheep.
