Song of Praise for the Redeemed

¹In that day you will sing,[#12:1 Isaiah contains nine songs: the Song of Zion ( Isa. 1–4), the Song of the Lover and His Vineyard ( Isa. 5), the Song of Praise for the Redeemed ( Isa. 12), the Song of the Strong City ( Isa. 26:1–4), the Joyful Song of the Redeemed ( Isa. 35), the New Song to the Lord ( Isa. 42:10–12), the Song of Joy in Creation ( Isa. 44:23), the Song of Salvation ( Isa. 52:7–12), and the Song of the Suffering Servant ( Isa. 52:13–53:12).]

“I praise you, Lord Yahweh ,

for even though you were angry with me,

your anger turned away,

and now you tenderly comfort me.

²Behold—God is my salvation![#12:2 Or “the God who gives me triumph.” The Hebrew word for “salvation,” yĕshuw’ah , is found in Isaiah twenty-eight times and is very similar to the Hebrew name of Jesus: Yeshua. Redemption is God’s last word, not judgment. To know Jesus is to know the God of salvation.]

I am confident, unafraid, and I will trust in you .”

Yes! The Lord Yah is my might and my melody;

he has become my salvation!

³With triumphant joy you will drink deeply

from the wells of salvation.

⁴In that glorious day, you will say to one another,

“Give thanks to the Lord and ask him for more!

Tell the world about all that he does!

Let them know how magnificent he is!”

⁵Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done marvelous wonders,

and let his fame be known throughout the earth!

⁶Give out a shout of cheer;

sing for joy, O people of Zion,

for great and mighty is the Holy One of Israel

who lives among you!
