²³ Sing for joy,^(A) you heavens, for the Lord has done this;
    shout aloud, you earth^(B) beneath.
Burst into song, you mountains,^(C)
    you forests and all your trees,^(D)
for the Lord has redeemed^(E) Jacob,
    he displays his glory^(F) in Israel.

¹³ Shout for joy,^(A) you heavens;
    rejoice, you earth;^(B)
    burst into song, you mountains!^(C)
For the Lord comforts^(D) his people
    and will have compassion^(E) on his afflicted ones.^(F)

⁴⁸ Then heaven and earth and all that is in them
    will shout^(A) for joy over Babylon,
for out of the north^(B)
    destroyers^(C) will attack her,”
declares the Lord.

¹² Therefore rejoice, you heavens^(A)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe^(B) to the earth and the sea,^(C)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”
