Surely God Is My Salvation
You will say in that day: I will give
thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned
away, and you comforted me.
Surely God is my salvation; I will
trust, and will not be afraid, for the LORD GOD is my strength and my might; he
has become my salvation.
With joy you will draw water from the
wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the LORD, call
on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is
exalted.
Sing praises to the LORD, for he has
done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth.
Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal

universe – God’s hands – are wise and compassionate. We can trust them in
spited of our circumstances and not be afraid.
God is in
control, so we have nothing to fear.
