Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall draw water with joy out of wells of salvation. And thou shalt say in that day, Confess ye unto the Lord, and call upon his name, declare his glory unto the nations, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing ye the name of the Lord, for he hath wrought excellent things: declare ye these throughout all lands. Rejoice and be glad, ye that dwell in Sion, for the holy one of Israel is exalted in the midst thereof.
