Grass withers; the flower withers,
    but[a] the word of our God will stand forever.
Get yourself[b] up to a high mountain, Zion, bringer of good news!
    Lift up your voice with strength, Jerusalem, bringer of good news!
Lift it up; you must not fear!
    Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
10 Look! The Lord Yahweh comes with strength,[c]
    and his arm rules for him.
Look! His reward is with him,
    and his recompense in his presence.[d]
