Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Thou shalt say, therefore, in that day, I will praise thee, O Yahweh! Though thou hast been angry with me, Thine anger turneth back. And thou dost comfort me.

2 Lo, GOD is my salvation! I will trust and not dread,—For, my might and melody, is Yah, Yahweh, And he hath become mine, by salvation.

3 Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing,—out of the fountains of salvation.

4 And ye shall say in that day, Praise Yahweh. Call upon his Name, Make known among the peoples, his doings,—Bring to remembrance that, exalted, is his Name!

5 Praise in song Yahweh, For a splendid thing, hath he done,—Well known, is this in all the earth.

6 Make shrill thy voice and sing out thou inhabitress of Zion,—That great in the midst of thee, is the Holy One of Israel.
