21 (A)Do not fear, land; shout for joy and rejoice,
For the Lord has done (B)great things.
22 Do not fear, animals of the field,
For the (C)pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has produced its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded [a]in full.
23 So shout for joy, you (D)sons of Zion,
And (E)rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has (F)given you [b]the early rain for your vindication.
And He has brought down for you the rain,
The [c]early and [d](G)latter rain [e]as before.
