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.
    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.
Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
In that day you will say:
Give thanks to the Lord! Proclaim[b] his name.
Declare among the peoples what he has done.
Proclaim that his name is exalted!
Sing to the Lord, for he has done amazing things!
Let this be known in all the earth!
Shout aloud and sing for joy, daughter[c] of Zion,
for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!

A Song of Thanksgiving

12 And you will say on that day,
“I will give you thanks, Yahweh,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
and you comforted me.
Look! God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and I will not be afraid,
for my strength and might is Yah, Yahweh;
    and he has become salvation for me.”

Make his deeds known among the peoples;
    bring to remembrance that his name is exalted.
Sing praises to Yahweh, for he has done a glorious thing;
    this is known in all the earth.
Inhabitant of Zion, shout out and sing for joy,
    for the holy one of Israel is great in your midst.”
