Hymn of Thanksgiving

12 A day is coming when people will sing,

    “I praise you, Lord! You were angry with me,
    but now you comfort me and are angry no longer.
(A)God is my savior;
    I will trust him and not be afraid.
The Lord gives me power and strength;
    he is my savior.
As fresh water brings joy to the thirsty,
    so God's people rejoice when he saves them.”

A day is coming when people will sing,

“Give thanks to the Lord! Call for him to help you!
    Tell all the nations what he has done!
    Tell them how great he is!
Sing to the Lord because of the great things he has done.
    Let the whole world hear the news.
Let everyone who lives in Zion shout and sing!
    Israel's holy God is great,
    and he lives among his people.”

Thanksgiving and Praise

12 You will say on that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
    for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
    and you comforted me.(A)

Surely God is my salvation;
    I will trust and will not be afraid,
for the Lord[a] is my strength and my might;
    he has become my salvation.”(B)

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.(C) And you will say on that day:

“Give thanks to the Lord;
    call on his name;
make known his deeds among the nations;
    proclaim that his name is exalted.

Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
    let this be known in all the earth.(D)
Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal[b] Zion,
    for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”(E)

My Strength and Song

12 And you will say in that day,
    “I thank you, God.
You were angry
    but your anger wasn’t forever.
You withdrew your anger
    and moved in and comforted me.

“Yes, indeed—God is my salvation.
    I trust, I won’t be afraid.
God—yes God!—is my strength and song,
    best of all, my salvation!”

3-4 Joyfully you’ll pull up buckets of water
    from the wells of salvation.
And as you do it, you’ll say,

Call out his name.
    Ask him anything!
Shout to the nations, tell them what he’s done,
    spread the news of his great reputation!

5-6 “Sing praise-songs to God. He’s done it all!
    Let the whole earth know what he’s done!
Raise the roof! Sing your hearts out, O Zion!
    The Greatest lives among you: The Holy of Israel.”
