Verse 1
1And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Verse 2
2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
God - My salvation hath not been brought to pass by man, but by the almighty power of God.
Verse 3
3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
With joy - Your thirsty souls shall be filled with Divine graces and comforts, which you may draw from God, in the use of gospel-ordinances.
