Isaiah 12
A song of praise
Israel sings praise to the Lord for his salvation, saying the Lord Jehovah is his strength and song. They draw water with joy from the wells of salvation and declare the Lord's doings among the peoples.

1In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, the LORD; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.
2Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD, the LORD, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

4In 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!
5Sing to the LORD, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!
