USB ~ Isaiah 12

Song of Thanksgiving†

1 On that day, you will say: I give you thanks, O LORD; though you have been angry with me, your anger has abated, and you have consoled me.

2 God indeed is my salvation; I am confident and unafraid. For the LORD is my strength and my might, and he has been my salvation. a

3 With joy you will draw water from the fountains of salvation, b

4 And you will say on that day: give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name; Among the nations make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name. c

5 Sing praise to the LORD for he has done glorious things; let this be known throughout all the earth. d

6 Shout with exultation, City of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel! e
