    The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.(J)

31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;(K)
    let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!(L)
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;(M)
    let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees(N) of the forest sing,
    let them sing for joy before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge(O) the earth.
