Isaiah 12 YLT

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 thou hast said in that day: `I thank thee, O Jehovah, Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine anger, And Thou dost comfort me.

2Lo, God is my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song is Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.

3And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,

4And ye have said in that day, Give ye praise to Jehovah, call in His name. Make known among the peoples His acts. Make mention that set on high is His name.

5Praise ye Jehovah, for excellence He hath done, Known is this in all the earth.

6Cry aloud, and sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in thy midst is the Holy One of Israel!'
