Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth,
And break forth into singing, O mountains,
For the Lord has comforted His people,
And will have mercy upon His afflicted.
Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth,
And break forth into singing, O mountains,
For the Lord has comforted His people,
And will have mercy upon His afflicted.
But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me,”
“But can a woman forget her nursing child?
Could she not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Yes. Even they may forget you,
But I cannot forget you,
For I have engraven you,
I have engraven you,
I have engraven you
Upon the palms of my hands.”
