1En ese momento dirás: “¡Te alabaré, Señor! Aunque estabas enojado conmigo, tu ira ha pasado, y ahora me consuelas.
2¡Mira! ¡Dios es mi salvación! ¡Confiaré en él y no tendré miedo! Porque el Señor es mi fuerza y mi canción, y me ha salvado”.
3Con gran alegría tomarás agua del pozo de la salvación.
4En ese momento dirás: “¡Alabad al Señor, gritad su nombre! Cuenten a las naciones lo que ha hecho, que conozcan su carácter maravilloso.
5Canten al Señor por todas las cosas gloriosas que ha hecho; que todo el mundo lo sepa.
6Griten con fuerza y cantad de alegría, pueblos de Sión, porque el Santo de Israel es grande y está entre ustedes”.
📖 Chapter study
Summary
A short, joyful song of thanksgiving: the people praise God because, even after his anger, he comforted them and became their salvation. It is an invitation to draw water 'with joy out of the wells of salvation' and to proclaim God's deeds among the nations.
Explanation
This chapter serves as a closing hymn for the first major section of the book of Isaiah (chapters 1-12), which blends judgment and hope. The phrase 'draw water with joy out of the wells of salvation' may refer to an ancient Jewish ritual of drawing water during the Feast of Tabernacles, celebrating God's provision. It is one of the shortest passages in the book, yet also one of the most used in hymns and liturgies of praise today. The practical application is that after recognizing our wrongs and going through correction, the healthy response is genuine gratitude, not mere relief.
