Isaiah 12:1–6

The prophet's personal song of praise for God's salvation concludes the reflections on trust in Isaiah 7–12. God will show he is trustworthy in his promises to rescue his people, even though they initially refused to trust him. The song anticipates Isaiah 40–66 with its themes of:

  • salvation,

  • forgiveness,

  • praise,

  • joy, and

  • the nations.
