Isaiah 12

New International Reader's Version

Two Songs of Praise

12 In days to come, the people of Israel will sing,

“Lord, we will praise you.
    You were angry with us.
But now your anger has turned away from us.
    And you have brought us comfort.
²God, you are the one who saves us.
    We will trust in you.
    Then we won’t be afraid.
Lord, you are the one who gives us strength.
    You are the one who keeps us safe.
    Lord, you have saved us.”
³People of Israel, he will save you.
    That will bring you joy like water brought up from wells.

⁴In days to come, the people of Israel will sing,

“Give praise to the Lord. Make his name known.
    Tell the nations what he has done.
    Announce how honored he is.
⁵Sing to the Lord. He has done glorious things.
    Let it be known all over the world.
⁶People of Zion, give a loud shout!
    Sing for joy!
The Holy One of Israel is among you.
    And he is great.”
