Isaiah, 12

1 And in that day you will be sure to say: “I shall thank you, O Jehovah, for [although] you got incensed at me, your anger gradually turned back, and you proceeded to comfort me.

2 Look! God*1 is my salvation. I shall trust and be in no dread; for Jah*2 Jehovah*3 is my strength and [my]*4 might,*5 and he came to be the salvation of me.”

  1. “God.” Heb., ʼEl.

  2. “Jah.” Heb., Yah. See Ex 15:2 ftn, “Jah”; Ps 68:4 ftn.

  3. “Jah Jehovah.” Heb., Yah Yehwahʹ. This combination occurs only here and in 26:4.

  4. “My,” 1QIsaLXXSyVg and two Heb. mss.

  5. Or, “melody.” LXXVg, “praise.” See Ex 15:2 ftn, “Might.”

3 With exultation YOU people will be certain to draw water out of the springs of salvation.

4 And in that day YOU will certainly say: “Give thanks to Jehovah, YOU people! Call upon his name. Make known among the peoples his dealings. Make mention that his name is put on high.

5 Make melody to Jehovah, for he has done surpassingly. This is made known in all the earth.*1

  1. Or, “the land.” Heb., ha·ʼaʹrets.

6 “Cry out shrilly and shout for joy, O you inhabitress*1 of Zion, for great in the midst of you*2 is the Holy One of Israel.”

  1. Or, “population,” fem. sing., considered collectively as a woman.

  2. “You,” fem., that is, “inhabitress of Zion.”
