The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Most certainly [all] the people are [like] grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.(A)


O Zion, herald of good news,
Get up on a high mountain.
O Jerusalem, herald of good news,

Lift it up, do not fear;
Say to the cities of Judah,
“Here is your God!”(B)

The grass withers(A) and the flowers fall,

The grass withers and the flowers(D) fall,
    but the word(E) of our God endures(F) forever.(G)

You who bring good news(H) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,[a](I)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”(J)
