"english": "At Redemption's arrival, the heavens shall be glad and the earth shall exult. The peoples will declare, \"The Lord has always been King!\" King is the Lord; the Lord was always King, and the Lord shall always be King, for evermore. Forever and ever the Lord remains King. Peoples have vanished from earth, God's land. The Lord has voided the evil schemes of the nations who sought to injure the Jewish Nation; He has wrecked the evil designs of the nations.1 Many thoughts dwell in a person's heart—one may suppose he knows best, yet only the counsel of the Lord endures forever. Forever endures the Lord's counsel; the thoughts and designs that rest in His heart find fulfillment throughout all generations. For He spoke, and creation came into being; He commanded that the cosmos should stand, and it has continued to exist forever.",
