Exegesis
The verse opens with parallel apostrophic imperatives: rannu {רָנּ֤וּ | rānnû} ‘sing for joy’ addressing the heavens and vegili {וְגִ֣ילִי | wəgilî} ‘rejoice’ addressing the earth, forming a cosmic summons.
In context — Isaiah 49:13
Shout for joy, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth; and let the mountains break out in song! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones .
