^13 (A)Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
    break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord ^(B)has comforted his people
    and will have compassion on his afflicted.

⁷ For thus says the Lord:
^(A)“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
    and raise shouts for ^(B)the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
    ^(C)‘O Lord, save your people,
    the remnant of Israel.’

²⁷ Let those who delight in my righteousness
    shout for joy and be glad
    ^(A)and say evermore,
^(B)“Great is the Lord,
    who ^(C)delights in the welfare of his servant!”

¹⁶ But I will sing of your strength;
    I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me ^(A)a fortress
    and ^(B)a refuge in ^(C)the day of my distress.
