The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;
They (A)break forth into shouts of joy.
Even the (B)cypress trees are glad over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.’

It wakens for you the [a]spirits of the dead, all the [b]leaders of the earth;
It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

it makes them rise from their thrones—
    all those who were kings over the nations.(H)
