< Isaiah 12 >
1 And you will say in that day: “I will confess to you, O Lord, because you have been angry with me; but your fury has been turned away, and you have consoled me.
At that time, you [people of Jerusalem] will sing [this song]: “Yahweh, we praise you! [Previously], you were angry with us, but you are not angry now and you have comforted us.
2 Behold, God is my savior, I will act faithfully, and I will not be afraid. For the Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation.”
Amazingly, you [have come to] save us, [so] we will trust [in you] and not be afraid. Yahweh our God, you enable us to be strong; you are [the one about whom] we sing; you have rescued us [from our enemies].”
3 You will draw water with gladness from the fountains of the Savior.
You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 And you will say in that day: “Confess the Lord, and invoke his name! Make his plans known among the peoples! Remember that his name is exalted!
At that time you [all] will say, “We should thank Yahweh! We should praise him [MTY]! We should tell [the people of all] the people-groups what he has done; we should enable them to know that he [MTY] is very great!
5 Sing to the Lord, for he has acted magnificently! Announce it to the whole world!
We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 Exult and give praise, O habitation of Zion! For the Great One, the Holy One of Israel, is in your midst!”
You people of Jerusalem, shout joyfully to praise Yahweh, because he is the great Holy One whom we Israeli [people worship], and he lives among us!”
