Isaiah 42:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Let the desert and its towns rejoice,
the villages where Kedar[a] dwells.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them all give glory to God
and sing his praise in the coastlands.
13 The Lord marches forth like a hero;
like a warrior he stirs up his fury.
He shouts forth his battle cry
and triumphs against his foes.[b]
