21 (A)Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,
For the Lord 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]in full.
23 So rejoice, O (D)sons of Zion,
And (E)be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has (F)given you [b]the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The [c]early and [d](G)latter rain [e]as before.
