Israel Is Not Forgotten

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are my servant;
I formed you, you are my servant;
    O Israel, do not forget me.[a](A)
22 I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.(B)

23 Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
    shout, O depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
    O forest and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and will be glorified in Israel.(C)

    for you are my servant, O Israel.
I, the Lord, made you,

Oh, return to me,
    for I have paid the price to set you free.”

    O mountains and forests and every tree!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and is glorified in Israel.
