11 Let the wilderness and its cities shout out,
the towns where the nomads of Kedar live.
Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully;
let them shout loudly from the mountaintops.
12 Let them give the Lord the honor he deserves;[a]
let them praise his deeds in the coastlands.[b]
13 The Lord emerges like a hero,
like a warrior he inspires himself for battle;[c]
he shouts, yes, he yells,
he shows his enemies his power.[d]
