Isaiah 12
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Is My Strength and My Song
12 Then you will say in that day,
“(A)I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh;
For (B)although You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away,
And You comfort me.
2 Behold, (C)God is my salvation,
I will (D)trust and not dread;
For [a](E)Yah—Yahweh Himself—is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”
3 Therefore you will joyously (F)draw water
From the (G)springs of salvation.
4 And in that day you will (H)say,
“(I)Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name.
(J)Make known His deeds among the peoples;
[b]Make them remember that His name is exalted.”
5 (K)Praise Yahweh in song, for He has done [c]majestic things;
Let this be known throughout the earth.
6 (L)Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
For (M)great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

A Song of Salvation
12 In 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.
2 Surely God is my salvation.
I will trust him and will not be afraid,
because Yah, the Lord,[a] is my strength and song,
and he has become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Give thanks to the Lord! Proclaim[b] his name.
Declare among the peoples what he has done.
Proclaim that his name is exalted!
5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done amazing things!
Let this be known in all the earth!
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, daughter[c] of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!
