A Hymn of Praise
“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
I will trust and not be afraid;
a‘For bYah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’ ”
From the wells of salvation.
a“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
bDeclare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His cname is exalted.
For great is bthe Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

What Does Isaiah 12:3 Mean?
Isaiah 12:3
There will be everlasting joy when God's Kingdom is established on earth. Joy and gladness are not only deep inward feelings, but they are also expressed in visible celebration when God's people gather together. Speaking of the future church, Isaiah 60:15 says, "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations." In the meantime, the apostle Paul advises us to "rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4)
