Israel’s Praise to the Lord

12 At that time,[a] you will say:
“I will praise you, Lord,
    for although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away,
    and you have comforted me.
“Look! God—yes God—is[b] my salvation;
    I will trust, and not be afraid.
For the Lord[c] is my strength and my song,[d]
    and he has become my salvation.”

You will draw water joyfully from the wells of salvation. And you will say at that time:[e]

“Give thanks to the Lord;
    call on his name.
Make known his actions
    among the nations.
        Proclaim that his name is exalted.
“Sing praises to the Lord,[f]
    because he has acted gloriously,
        being made[g] known in all the world.
Shout aloud, and sing for joy,
    you who live in Zion,
because great in your midst
    is the Holy One of Israel.”

  1. Isaiah 12:2 Or song

12 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
