The Lord Redeems Israel

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are (A)my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
    (B)O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 (C)I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.

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