The Good Shepherd: God Most High

Here comes with power
the Lord GOD,
who rules by His strong arm;
here is His reward with Him,
His recompense before Him.

Like a shepherd He feeds His flock;
in His arms He gathers the lambs,
carrying them in His bosom,
and leading the ewes with care.

Who has cupped in His hand the waters of the sea,
and marked off the heavens with a span?
Who has held in a measure the dust of the earth,
weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?

Who has directed the spirit of the LORD,
or has instructed Him as His counselor?
Whom did He consult to gain knowledge?
Who taught Him the path of judgment,
or showed Him the way of understanding?

Behold, the nations count as a drop in the bucket,
as dust on the scales;
the coastlands weigh no more than powder.

Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
nor its animals be enough for holocausts.
Before Him all the nations are as nought,
as nothing and void He accounts them.
~Isaiah 40:10-17
