T4T ISA Chapter 12

Songs that people will sing to praise Yahweh

12 At that time, you people of Jerusalem will sing this song:

“Yahweh, we praise you!

Previously, you were angry with us,

but you are not angry now

and you have comforted us.

2 Amazingly, you have come to save us,

so we will trust in you and not be afraid.

Yahweh our God, you enable us to be strong;

you are the one about whom we sing;

you have rescued us from our enemies.”

3 You(pl), his people, will greatly enjoy being saved

like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.

4 At that time you all will say,

“We should thank Yahweh! We should praise him [MTY]!

We should tell the people of all the people-groups what he has done;

we should enable them to know that he [MTY] is very great!

5 We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things.

We should enable everyone in the world to know it!

6 You people of Jerusalem, shout joyfully to praise Yahweh,

because he is the great Holy One whom we Israeli people worship,

and he lives among us!”
