A Song of Praise to God

12 At that time you will say,
“I praise you, Lord!
    You have been angry with me,
but don’t be angry with me now.
    Show your love to me.
God is the one who saves me.
    I trust him, and I am not afraid.
The Lord Yah is my strength.
    He saves me, and I sing songs of praise about him.[a]

You people will get your water from the spring of salvation.
    Then you will be happy.
At that time you will say,
    “Praise the Lord and call out his name!
Tell everyone what he has done
    and how wonderful he is.”
Sing songs of praise about the Lord,
    because he has done great things.
Spread this news about God throughout the whole world.
    Let all people know these things.
People of Zion, shout about these things!
    The Holy One of Israel is with you in a powerful way.
    So sing and be happy!
