The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

 You^[a] will say in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.

² “Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God^[b] is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”

³ With joy you^[c] will draw water from the wells of salvation. ⁴ And you will say in that day:

“Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.

⁵ “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known^[d] in all the earth.
⁶ Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great in your^[e] midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
