7. The grass withers, the flower fades,Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;Surely the people are grass.
8. The grass withers, the flower fades,But the word of our God stands forever.”
9. O Zion,You who bring good tidings,Get up into the high mountain;O Jerusalem,You who bring good tidings,Lift up your voice with strength,Lift it up, be not afraid;Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
10. Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand,And His arm shall rule for Him;Behold, His reward is with Him,And His work before Him.
11. He will feed His flock like a shepherd;He will gather the lambs with His arm,And carry them in His bosom,And gently lead those who are with young.
