Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, and let them tell the peoples, "Yahweh reigns!"

Then David said to Gad, "{I am very troubled}. Let me into the hand of Yahweh, for his compassion is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of a man."

Then David said to God, "Was it not I [who] gave a command to count the people? Now I [am] he who has sinned, and I have certainly done wickedness, but these sheep, what have they done? O Yahweh, my God, please let your hand be against me and against the house of my father, but against your people, [let there be] no plague."

Let the sea roar and its fullness; let the field rejoice and all that [is] in it.
