Old Testament

Isaiah 12
A Song of Salvation
121In that day you will say:
I will give thanks to you, Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away,
and you comfort me.
2Surely God is my salvation.
I will trust him and will not be afraid,
because the Lord, yes the Lord,[] is my strength and song,
and he has become my salvation.
3Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
4In that day you will say:
Give thanks to the Lord! Proclaim[] his name.
Declare among the peoples what he has done.
Proclaim that his name is exalted!
5Sing to the Lord, for he has done amazing things!
Let this be known in all the earth!
6Shout aloud and sing for joy, daughter[] of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!

Footnotes

  • 12:2 The Hebrew uses both forms of the divine name, the short form Yah and the full form Yahweh, which EHV usually translates Lord. It is possible that this repetition is accidental since some manuscripts do not have it.
  • 12:4 Or call on
  • 12:6 The word daughter has been added to reflect the feminine form of the phrase those who live in Zion.
