Isaiah Chapter 12

From The Open Bible Project

12:1 In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

• (a) He shows how the Church will praise God, when they are delivered from their captivity.

12:2 Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation."

• (b) Our salvation stands only in God, who gives us an assured confidence, constancy and opportunity to praise him for the same.

12:3 Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.

• (c) The graces of God will be so abundant that you may receive them in as great plenty as waters out of a fountain that is full.

12:4 In that day you will say, "Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that his name is exalted!

12:5 Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!

12:6 Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great in the midst of you!"

• (d) You who are of the Church.
