Verse of the week from Bob's Bible

Isaiah 12:4 
And you will say in that day, Give thanks to Yahweh. Call in his name. Make known among the peoples his prodigality. // Remember that set on high is his name.

A very unusual verse in the chapter and for the Revised Common Lectionary in that this chapter is used as the 'Psalm'. There is more on this verse in its musical context here. Of course if you want to know about 'that day', you can reference the prior chapter where the phrase 'And it will happen in that day' occurs twice. The phrase that day occurs 45 times in Isaiah (about a third of all instances in the Hebrew Bible).
