In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, the LORD; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

EXPLANATION

Verse 1. Thanks. Lit. “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 15.—Angry. They do not thank God on this account; but because he had averted his indignation. Calmet.

EXPLANATION

LORD or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.
