1 And you will say in that day: “I will confess to you, O Lord, because you have been angry with me; but your fury has been turned away, and you have consoled me. 2 Behold, God is my savior, I will act faithfully, and I will not be afraid. For the Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation.” 3 You will draw water with gladness from the fountains of the Savior. 4 And you will say in that day: “Confess the Lord, and invoke his name! Make his plans known among the peoples! Remember that his name is exalted! 5 Sing to the Lord, for he has acted magnificently! Announce it to the whole world! 6 Exult and give praise, O habitation of Zion! For the Great One, the Holy One of Israel, is in your midst!”
