Isaiah 42:11 - “Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that KEDAR doth inhabit:
let the inhabitants of the ROCK* sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.” - KJV, BST
(* Other Bible translations substitute ROCK for "SELA" = NIV, NLT, ESV, BSB)

Pulpit Commentary: (Isaiah 42:11)
The wilderness and the cities thereof. The desert had its cities, built on some more or less fertile oases, where at
any rate water was procurable. Instances of such cities are Tudmor, Petra, Kadesh (Numbers 20:1). Its villages were
probably collections of tents, which were moved from time to time, since the Beni-Kedar were nomads (ch. 21:16;
Psalm 120:5). The call is upon both the stationary and the wandering inhabitants of the Syro-Arabian desert to join in
the song of praise. The inhabitants of the rock; rather, the inhabitants of SELA, or PETRA, the ROCK-city, which was
the capital of Idumaea, or Edom (see the comment on ch. 16. l).
It is assumed that the return of the Israelites to their land ought to be a subject of rejoicing to all their neighbours.
