Isaiah 12

A Song of Praise

1 On that day you will say:

"I will give thanks to you, Lord,

although you were angry with me.

Your anger has turned away,

and you have comforted me.  * 12:1 Is 40:1

2 Indeed, God is my salvation;

I will trust him and not be afraid,

for the Lord, the  Lord  himself,

is my strength and my song.

He has become my salvation."  * 12:2 Ex 15:2; Ps 118:14

3 You will joyfully draw water  * 12:3 Jn 4:10; 7:37–38

from the springs of salvation,

4 and on that day you will say,

"Give thanks to the Lord; proclaim his name!

Make his works known among the peoples.  * 12:4 1Ch 16:8; Ps 105:1; 145:4

Declare that his name is exalted.

5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things.  * 12:5 Ex 15:1; Ps 98:1; Is 24:14; 42:10–11; 44:23

Let this be known throughout the earth.

6 Cry out and sing, citizen of Zion,

for the Holy One of Israel  * 12:6 Is 1:4 is among you

in his greatness."
