< Isaiah 12 >
1 At that time you will say, “I will praise you, Lord! Though you were angry with me, your anger is over, and now you comfort me.
In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to you, the LORD; for you were angry with me, but your anger has turned away and you comfort me.
2 Look! God is my salvation! I will trust in him and I won't be afraid! For the Lord is my strength and song, and he has saved me!”
Look, in the God of my salvation I will trust, and will not be afraid. For the LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation."
3 With great happiness you will take water from the well of salvation.
Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 At that time you will say: “Praise the Lord, shout out his name! Tell the nations what he has done—let them know of his wonderful character!
In that day you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 Sing to the Lord for all the glorious things he's done—let the whole world know!
Sing to the LORD, for he has done excellent things. Let this be known in all the earth.
6 Shout loudly and sing for joy, you people of Zion, for the Holy One of Israel is great, and is among you.”
Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great in the midst of you."
