Isaiah

Isaiah 12:2–6

²Surely God is my salvation;

I will trust and not be afraid.

For the LORD GOD is my strength and my song,

and He also has become my salvation.”

³With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation, ⁴and on that day you will say:

“Give praise to the LORD;

proclaim His name!

Make His works known among the peoples;

declare that His name is exalted.

⁵Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things.

Let this be known in all the earth.

⁶Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion,

for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”
