CONTEXT

ISAIAH 12:1-6

1In that day you will say:
“I will praise you, Lord.
    Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
    and you have comforted me.
2Surely God is my salvation;
    I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself,
is my strength and my defense;
    he has become my salvation.”
3With joy you will draw water
    from the wells of salvation.
4In that day you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done,
    and proclaim that his name is exalted.
5Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;
    let this be known to all the world.
6Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
    for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
