Bible Passage

Isaiah 12 (Listen)

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

12:1   You1 will say in that day:
  “I will give thanks to you, O LORD,
    for though you were angry with me,
  your anger turned away,
    that you might comfort me.
2   “Behold, God is my salvation;
    I will trust, and will not be afraid;
  for the LORD GOD2 is my strength and my song,
    and he has become my salvation.”

3 With joy you3 will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in that day:

  “Give thanks to the LORD,
    call upon his name,
  make known his deeds among the peoples,
    proclaim that his name is exalted.
5   “Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously;
    let this be made known4 in all the earth.
6   Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
    for great in your5 midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
