“O Lord, I Will Praise You”

And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; though You were angry with me, And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; though You were angry with me, your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’”

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

And in that day you will say: “Praise the Lord, call upon His name; declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted.

Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!” Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’”

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

And in that day you will say: “Praise the Lord, call upon His name; declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted.

Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

Isaiah 12:1-6

God wanted His people, who were living in a spiritual desert, to discover His “wells of salvation.” The prophet Isaiah compared God’s salvation to a well from which the most refreshing of all waters can be drawn.

Isaiah 12 is a hymn, praising God for His faithfulness in keeping His promises, especially the promise of salvation.

God wants each of us to discover through confession and repentance the deep, cool waters of joy found in the everlasting well of His salvation.

The wells of God’s salvation never run dry.
