The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
(A)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you [a]were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’

“Hell(B)[b] from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.

The whole earth is at rest and is quiet;
They (A)break forth into shouts of joy.
Even the (B)juniper trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you have been laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.’
(C)Sheol below is excited about you, to meet you when you come;
It stirs the [a]spirits of the dead for you, all the [b]leaders of the earth;
