23 Shout in triumphant joy, O heavens,
    for the Lord has done this;
    shout aloud, O depths of the earth.
Break forth into song, you mountains,
    you forests, with all your trees.
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and displayed his glory in Israel.
24 Thus says the Lord, your redeemer,
    who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord who made all things;
    by myself I stretched out the heavens
    by myself I spread out the earth.
25 I frustrate the omens of false prophets
    and make fools of diviners.
I confound wise men
    and reveal the foolishness of their thoughts.
