3 And it shall happen on the day Yahweh gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and hard labor which you had to perform,
4 that you will take this taunt against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How the oppressor has ceased! his insolence has ceased.
5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers,
6 that struck the peoples in wrath, a blow without ceasing, that ruled the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.
7 All of the earth rests and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
8 Even the cypresses rejoice over you, the cedars of Lebanon: ‘Since you were laid down, no wood cutter comes up against us.’
9 Sheol below is getting excited over you, to meet you when you come; it arouses the dead spirits for you, all of the leaders of the earth. It raises all of the kings of the nations from their thrones.
