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.

And ye shall say in that day, (B)Praise the Lord: call upon his Name: declare his works among the people: make mention of them, for his Name is exalted.

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

Cry out, and shout, [d]O inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy one of Israel in the midst of thee.
