Yesaya 42:10-11

42:10 Sing to the Lord a brand new song!

Praise him ¹  from the horizon of the earth,

you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, ² 

you coastlands ³  and those who live there!

42:11 Let the desert 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.

Yesaya 44:23

44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; ⁴ 

shout out, you subterranean regions ⁵  of the earth.

O mountains, give a joyful shout;

you too, O forest and all your trees! ⁶ 

For the Lord protects ⁷  Jacob;

he reveals his splendor through Israel. ⁸ 

Yesaya 52:9

52:9 In unison give a joyful shout,

O ruins of Jerusalem!

For the Lord consoles his people;

he protects ⁹  Jerusalem.

Yesaya 55:12

55:12 Indeed you will go out with joy;

you will be led along in peace;

the mountains and hills will give a joyful shout before you,

and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.
