12 In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.” Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation. In that day you will say, “Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Declare his doings among the peoples! Proclaim that his name is exalted! Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth! Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!”

Israel’s Praise to the Lord

12 At that time,[a] you will say:
“I will praise you, Lord,
    for although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away,
    and you have comforted me.
“Look! God—yes God—is[b] my salvation;
    I will trust, and not be afraid.
For the Lord[c] is my strength and my song,[d]
    and he has become my salvation.”

You will draw water joyfully from the wells of salvation. And you will say at that time:[e]

“Give thanks to the Lord;
    call on his name.
Make known his actions
    among the nations.
        Proclaim that his name is exalted.
“Sing praises to the Lord,[f]
    because he has acted gloriously,
        being made[g] known in all the world.
Shout aloud, and sing for joy,
    you who live in Zion,
because great in your midst
    is the Holy One of Israel.”
