Yahweh Forgives and Redeems

21 (A)Remember these things, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (B)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will (C)not be forgotten by Me.
22 I have (D)wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud
And your sins like a cloud.
(E)Return to Me, for I have (F)redeemed you.”
23 (G)Shout for joy, O heavens, for Yahweh has done it!
Make a loud shout, you lower parts of the earth;
(H)Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it;
For (I)Yahweh has redeemed Jacob
And in Israel He (J)shows forth His beautiful glory.

A Call to Remembrance and Joy

21 “Remember these things, Jacob,
    Israel,[a] for you are my servant.
I have formed you;
    you are a servant to me.
        Israel,[b] you must not mislead me.[c]
22 I’ve wiped away your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist.
Return to me;
    because I’ve redeemed you.

23 “Shout for joy, you heavens,
    for the Lord has done it!
Shout aloud, you depths of the earth!
    Burst out with singing, you mountains,
        you forest, and all your trees!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and will display his glory in Israel.
