Thirty-two verses record a taunt song raised against the king of Babylon, who boasted he would ascend above the stars and sit on the mountain of assembly.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob Will yet choose Israel Set them in their own land The foreigner will join himself with them
The peoples will take them Bring them to their place The house of Israel will possess them In the LORD’s land for servants and for handmaids
It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest From your sorrow from your trouble From the hard service in which you were made to serve That you will take up this parable
Against the king of Babylon and say How the oppressor has ceased The golden city has ceased The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked
The sceptre of the rulers Who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke Who ruled the nations in anger With a persecution that no one restrained
The whole earth is at rest and is quiet They break out in song Yes the cypress trees rejoice with you With the cedars of Lebanon saying
Since you are humbled No lumberjack has come up against us Sheol from beneath has moved for you To meet you at your coming
It stirs up the departed spirits for you Even all the rulers of the earth Have you also become as weak as we are Have you become like us
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol With the sound of your stringed instruments How you have fallen from heaven Shining one son of the dawn
