Isaiah 12

Isaiah 12

Thanksgiving and Praise

1You will say on that day:[#Isa 25.1; 26.1; 40.1, 2]

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord ,

for though you were angry with me,

your anger turned away,

and you comforted me.

2Surely God is my salvation;[#Ex 15.2; Ps 118.14; Isa 26.3; 33.2]

I will trust and will not be afraid,

for the Lord is my strength and my might;

he has become my salvation.”

3With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.[#Isa 41.18; Jn 4.10; 7.37, 38]

4And you will say on that day:

“Give thanks to the Lord ;

call on his name;

make known his deeds among the nations;

proclaim that his name is exalted.

5Sing praises to the Lord , for he has done gloriously;[#Ex 15.1; Ps 98.1; Isa 24.14]

let this be known in all the earth.

6Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion,[#Isa 49.26; Zeph 3.14; #12.6 Or O inhabitant of]

for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
