The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
(A)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you [a]were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’

“Hell(B)[b] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
