13 Give a glad cry, YOU heavens,+ and be joyful, you earth.+ Let the mountains become cheerful with a glad outcry.+ For Jehovah has comforted his people,+ and he shows pity* upon his own afflicted ones.+

13 Like a man* whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting YOU people;+ and in the case of Jerusalem YOU will be comforted.+
