< Isaiah 12 >
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Yhwh, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst 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 salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for Yah Yhwh is my strength and my song; he also is 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 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yhwh, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention 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 unto Yhwh; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
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!”
