21 (A)Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,
For Yahweh has done (B)great things.
22 Do not fear, beasts of the field,
For the (C)pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has borne its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine have yielded [a]their full force.
23 So rejoice, O (D)sons of Zion,
And (E)be glad in Yahweh your God,
For He has (F)given you [b]the early rain in righteousness.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The [c]early and [d](G)late rains [e]as before.
