Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 12

AND 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 comfortest me.

When this great Work of the Reduction of God's Israel, and of the Conversion of the Gentiles, promised in the foregoing Chapter, shall be fulfilled.

2 Behold, 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.

My Salvation hath not been brought to pass by Man, but by the Almighty Power of God.

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation .

He seems to allude to the State of Israel in the Wilderness, where when they had been tormented with Thirst, they were greatly refreshed and delighted with those Waters which God so graciously and wonderftlly afforded them in that d[illegible: 1+ letters]y and barren Land, Numb. 20. 11. & 21. 16, 17, 18.
