The redeemed give thanks because the LORD’s anger has given way to comfort.
Isaiah 12:1-6
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.
Fear is replaced by trust because the LORD himself is salvation, strength, and song.
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.”
Salvation is pictured as abundant water joyfully received.
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.
The redeemed proclaim the LORD’s name and glorious deeds to the world.
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!
5 Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!
Zion rejoices because the Holy One of Israel is great in her midst.
6 Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great among you!”
