² Our mouths were filled with laughter,^(A)
    our tongues with songs of joy.^(B)
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things^(C) for them.”

54 “Sing, barren woman,^(A)
    you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,^(B)
    you who were never in labor;^(C)
because more are the children^(D) of the desolate^(E) woman
    than of her who has a husband,^(F)”
says the Lord.
