Isaiah 12 ASV

Summary: This short chapter is a psalm of thanksgiving to be sung "in that day" of restoration, opening with praise that God's anger is turned away and He has become salvation: "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid" (v. 2). The people are pictured drawing water joyfully from the "wells of salvation" (v. 3), and are called to make known God's deeds among the nations, proclaiming His name is exalted. The chapter closes urging Zion's inhabitants to cry out and sing, for the Holy One of Israel is great in their midst, ending the first major section of the book on a note of exuberant praise.

1And in that day thou shalt say, I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; for though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away and thou comfortest me.

2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid: for Jehovah, even Jehovah, is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation.

3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4And in that day shall ye say, Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name, declare his doings among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted.

5Sing unto Jehovah; for he hath done excellent things: let this be known in all the earth.

6Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel.
