The Lord takes care of his people

21 The Lord says:

‘Jacob's descendants, remember these things,
    because you, Israel, are my servant.
I created you to be my servant.
    Israel, I will not forget you.
22 I have removed the guilt of your sins,
    like the wind blows away a cloud.
When you turned against me,
    I have quickly forgiven you.
Return to me now,
    because I have rescued you.’
23 Sing aloud with joy, you heavens above us,
    because the Lord has done it!
Shout as loudly as you can,
    places deep below the earth.
You mountains, sing with joy,
    and you forests and trees as well!
Be happy, because the Lord has redeemed his people.
He has rescued the Israelites, Jacob's descendants,
    to show how great he is.
