12 In the face of such grace that day, you will thank God.

People: Thank you, thank you, thank you, Eternal One,
        God of our people, of our promise

    For establishing an end to our punishment,
        for taking me back with kindness, and comforting me.
    See, God has come to rescue me;
        I will trust in Him and not be afraid,
    For the Eternal, indeed, the Eternal is my strength and my song.
        My very own God has rescued me.

God has given His people a new surety and confidence, a new sense of purpose, strength, and determination.

With joy in each step, you will drink deeply from the springs of salvation.
You’ll want to sing out that day,

People: Give thanks to the Eternal; call on His name.
    Spread the news throughout the world of what He has done
        and how great is His name!

Sing praises to the Eternal!
    Everyone, everywhere should know that God acts in amazing ways.
You who live in this God-blessed place, this Zion, shout out and sing for joy!
    For God is great, and God is here—with us and around us—the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah's song

12 At that time, you will say,
    ‘I praise you, Lord.
You were angry with me. But now, you are no longer angry.
    Now you have been kind to me.
Listen! God is the one who saves me!
    I will continue to trust him.
I will not be afraid because the Lord himself makes me strong.
    He keeps me safe. He rescues us from our enemies.’
When God does that, it will make you very happy.
    You will be safe, like someone who gets plenty of good water from a well to drink.
At that time, you will say, ‘Praise the Lord!
    Thank him for his help!
Tell all the nations about the great things that God has done.
    Tell them that he is very great!
Sing songs to praise the Lord,
    because he has done wonderful things!
Cause everyone in the world to know it!
Everyone who lives in Zion,
    shout aloud and sing with joy!
The Holy God of Israel is great,
    and he lives among you.’

A Hymn of Praise

12 And (A)in that day you will say:

“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
(B)‘For (C)Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’ ”

Therefore with joy you will draw (D)water
From the wells of salvation.

And in that day you will say:

(E)“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
(F)Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His (G)name is exalted.
(H)Sing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.
(I)Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is (J)the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”
