Isaiah 12:1 | And thou shalt say in that day: I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me. | Thanks. Literally, "confess." The Jews thank God for their return, as the Church does for her deliverance from sin. (Worthington) --- Canticles were composed on such occasions, Exodus xv. --- Angry. They do not thank God on this account; but because he had averted his indignation. (Calmet) |
Isaiah 12:2 | Behold, God is my Saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: *because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation. Exodus 15:2.; Psalm 117:14. | |
Isaiah 12:3 | You shall draw waters with joy out of the Saviour's fountains: | Fountains. Instead of those which your fathers drank in the desert. (Calmet) --- You shall have the holy Scriptures, (Haydock) sacraments, etc., John 4:13., and 7:38. |
Isaiah 12:4 | And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high. | |
Isaiah 12:5 | Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth. | |
Isaiah 12:6 | Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the holy one of Israel. | Of thee. He alludes to the name Emmanuel. Christ preached, and his own would not receive him, John 1:11., and 26. (Calmet) --- He continues with us, concealed under the sacramental species [of the Eucharist]. (Menochius) |
