1 For Jehovah will pity Jacob, and he yet chose in Israel, and he gave them rest upon their land: and the stranger was joined to them, and they joined 2 And peoples took them and brought them to their place, and the house of Israel inherited them upon the land of Jehovah for servants and for maids: and they were captives to those having been made captives, and they came down upon those pressing them. 3 And it was in that day Jehovah gave rest to thee from thy toil and from thy trouble, and from the hard service which was served upon thee. 4 And thou tookest up this parable against the king of Babel, and thou saidst, How did he oppressing, cease! oppression ceased. 5 Jehovah broke in pieces the rod of the unjust, the rod of the rulers. 6 Striking the peoples in wrath a blow not removed, bringing down the nations in anger; pursuing, not sparing. 7 All the earth rested, having quiet: they broke forth a rejoicing. 8 Also the cypresses rejoiced at thee, the cedars of Lebanon: From that time thou wert laid down, he cutting off will not come up against us. 9 Hades from beneath was moved for thee to meet thy coming: it roused the shades for thee, all the leaders of the earth: it raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they will answer and say to thee, Also thou wert weak as we; thou wert made like to us.
