Chapter 12

Song of Thanksgiving[a]

    On that day, you will say:
I give you thanks, O Lord;
    though you have been angry with me,
    your anger has abated, and you have consoled me.
God indeed is my salvation;
    I am confident and unafraid.
For the Lord is my strength and my might,
    and he has been my salvation.(A)
With joy you will draw water
    from the fountains of salvation,(B)
And you will say on that day:
    give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name;
Among the nations make known his deeds,
    proclaim how exalted is his name.(C)
Sing praise to the Lord for he has done glorious things;
    let this be known throughout all the earth.(D)
Shout with exultation, City of Zion,
    for great in your midst
    is the Holy One of Israel!(E)

A Song of Praise

12 On that day you will say:
“I will praise You, Lord,
although You were angry with me.
Your anger has turned away,
and You have had compassion(A) on me.
Indeed, God is my salvation;
I will trust Him and not be afraid,
for Yah, the Lord,
is my strength and my song.
He has become my salvation.”(B)
You will joyfully draw water(C)
from the springs of salvation,
and on that day you will say:
“Give thanks to Yahweh; proclaim His name!
Celebrate His works among the peoples.(D)
Declare that His name is exalted.
Sing to Yahweh, for He has done glorious things.(E)
Let this be known throughout the earth.
Cry out and sing, citizen of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel(F) is among you
in His greatness.”
