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

break forth, O mountains, into singing!

For the Lord ^lhas comforted his people

and will have compassion on his afflicted.

12  ^t“For you shall go out in joy

and be led forth in peace;

^uthe mountains and the hills before you

shall break forth into singing,

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

34  Let ^cheaven and earth praise him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

48  ^aThen the heavens and the earth,

and all that is in them,

shall sing for joy over Babylon,

^bfor the destroyers shall come against them out of the north,

declares the Lord.
