Jerusalem, go up on a high mountain
    and proclaim the good news!
Call out with a loud voice, Zion;
    announce the good news![a]
Speak out and do not be afraid.
Tell the towns of Judah
    that their God is coming!

10 (A)The Sovereign Lord is coming to rule with power,
    bringing with him the people he has rescued.[b]
11 (B)He will take care of his flock like a shepherd;
    he will gather the lambs together
    and carry them in his arms;
    he will gently lead their mothers.
