A Hymn of Praise

1 And ain that day you will say:
“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. 
2 Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
a‘For bYah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’ ” 
3 Therefore with joy you will draw awater
From the wells of salvation.  
4 And in that day you will say:

bDeclare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His cname is exalted. 
5 aSing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth. 
6 aCry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is bthe Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

Isaiah 12:2

THANKSGIVING HYMN OF THE RESTORED AND CONVERTED JEWS. (Isaiah 12:1-6)

Lord JEHOVAH—Jah, Jehovah. The repetition of the name denotes emphasis, and the unchangeableness of God's character.

strength . . . song . . . salvation—derived from Exodus 15:2; Psalms 118:14. The idea of salvation was peculiarly associated with the feast of tabernacles (see Isaiah 12:3). Hence the cry "Hosanna," "Save, we beseech thee," that accompanied Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on that day (the fifteenth of the seventh month) (Matthew 21:9; compare with Psalms 118:25-26); the earnest of the perfected "salvation" which He shall bring to His people at His glorious second appearance at Jerusalem (Hebrews 9:28). "He shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Compare Revelation 21:3, "The tabernacle of God is with men." Compare Luke 9:33, "three tabernacles: one for thee," etc. (the transfiguration being a pledge of the future kingdom), (Psalms 118:15; Zechariah 14:16). As the Jew was reminded by the feast of tabernacles of his wanderings in tents in the wilderness, so the Jew-Gentile Church to come shall call to mind, with thanksgiving, the various past ways whereby God has at last brought them to the heavenly "city of habitation" (Psalms 107:7).
