Then Godsaid,"Let the watersteemwith swarmsof livingcreatures,and let birdsflyabovethe earthin the openexpanseof the heavens."
Thiswill be writtenfor the generationto come,That a peopleyet to be createdmay praisethe LORD.
Let everythingthat has breathpraisethe LORD.Praisethe LORD!
Let the heavensbe glad,and let the earthrejoice;Let the searoar,and allit contains;
Shoutfor joy,O heavens!And rejoice,O earth!Breakforthinto joyfulshouting,O mountains!For the LORDhas comfortedHis peopleAnd will havecompassionon His afflicted.
"For you will goout with joyAnd be ledforthwith peace;The mountainsand the hillswill breakforthinto shoutsof joybeforeyou, And allthe treesof the fieldwill clap[their] hands.
