  1. Isaiah 12:2 Or song

Danklied der Befreiten

12 Am Tag deiner Rettung wirst du, Israel, singen:

»Dich will ich loben, o Herr! Du warst zornig auf mich, doch dein Zorn hat sich gelegt, und du hast mich wieder getröstet.

Ja, so ist mein Gott: Er ist meine Rettung, ich vertraue ihm und habe keine Angst. Der Herr allein gibt mir Kraft. Denke ich an ihn, dann beginne ich zu singen, denn er hat mich gerettet.«

Seine Hilfe gleicht einer sprudelnden Quelle. Voller Freude werdet ihr Wasser daraus schöpfen.

An jenem Tag werdet ihr sagen:

»Lobt den Herrn und preist seinen herrlichen Namen! Erzählt den Völkern, was er getan hat! Ruft in die Welt hinaus, wie groß und erhaben er ist!

Singt zur Ehre des Herrn, denn er hat wunderbare Taten vollbracht. Auf der ganzen Erde soll man es hören!

Ihr Einwohner von Zion, jubelt und singt, denn groß ist der heilige Gott Israels, der mitten unter euch wohnt.«

A Hymn of Praise

12 And (A)in 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.
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
(B)‘For (C)Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’ ”

Therefore with joy you will draw (D)water
From the wells of salvation.

And in that day you will say:

(E)“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
(F)Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His (G)name is exalted.
(H)Sing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.
(I)Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is (J)the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

12 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
