11  He will tend his flock like a ^oshepherd;

he will gather the lambs in his arms;

he will carry them in his bosom,

and gently lead those that are with young.

3  “Listen to me, O house of Jacob,

all the ^rremnant of the house of Israel,

who have been ^sborne by me ^tfrom before your birth,

carried from the womb;

9  In all their affliction he was afflicted,¹

and the angel of his presence saved them;

in his ⁱlove and in his pity he redeemed them;

he lifted them up and ^jcarried them all the days of old.
