12 A thanksgiving of the faithful for the mercies of God.

And thou [a]shalt say in that day, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thy wrath is turned away, and thou comfortest me.

Behold, God is my [b]salvation: I will trust, and will not fear: for the Lord God is (A)my strength and song: he is also become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye [c]draw waters out of the wells of salvation.
