9 Get yourself up on a ahigh mountain,

O Zion, bearer of bgood news,

Lift up your voice mightily,

O Jerusalem, bearer of good news;

Lift it up, do not fear.

Say to the ccities of Judah,

“dHere is your God!”

10 Behold, the Lord 1God will come awith might,

With His barm ruling for Him.

Behold, His creward is with Him

And His recompense before Him.

11 Like a shepherd He will atend 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 ameasured the 1waters in the hollow of His hand,

And marked off the heavens by the 2span,

And 3calculated the dust of the earth by the measure,

And weighed the mountains in a balance

And the hills in a pair of scales?

13 aWho has 1directed the Spirit of the Lord,

Or as His bcounselor has informed Him?

14 aWith whom did He consult and who bgave Him understanding?

And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge

And informed Him of the way of understanding?
