The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

12 You[a] will say (A)in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
(B)your anger turned away,
    that you might comfort me.

“Behold, God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for (C)the Lord God[b] is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation.”

(D)With joy you[c] will draw water from the wells of salvation. (E)And you will say in that day:

(F)“Give thanks to the Lord,
    call upon his name,
(G)make known his deeds among the peoples,
    proclaim (H)that his name is exalted.

(I)“Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
    let this be made known[d] in all the earth.
Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
    for great (J)in your[e] midst is (K)the Holy One of Israel.”

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.
