⁸ Even the junipers^(A) and the cedars of Lebanon
    gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
    no one comes to cut us down.”^(B)

⁹ The realm of the dead^(C) below is all astir
    to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed^(D) to greet you—
    all those who were leaders^(E) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
    all those who were kings over the nations.^(F)
10 They will all respond,
    they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
    you have become like us.”^(G)
