7  The whole earth is at rest and quiet;

they ^ybreak forth into singing.

23  ^kSing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;

shout, O depths of the earth;

^lbreak forth into singing, O mountains,

O forest, and every tree in it!

For the Lord ^mhas redeemed Jacob,

and will be glorified¹ in Israel.

13  ^bSing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;

break forth, O mountains, into singing!

For the Lord has ^ccomforted his people

and will have compassion on his afflicted.

1  ⁿ“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;

break forth into singing and cry aloud,

you who have not been in labor!

For the children of the ^odesolate one will be more

than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.

12  “For you shall go out in joy

and be led forth in peace;

the mountains and the hills before you

shall break forth into singing,

and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
