Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth: break forth into singing, O mountains.
For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.
Let not Sion say, The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
Return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon you: and to your God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you: and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you.
For the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are they that wait for his salvation.
Sing, O heavens...
