2 Nephi 22

In that day, people will praise God for turning away his anger and becoming their salvation. The Lord Jehovah is their strength and deliverance. They will draw water from salvation's wells with joy, declare his works, and proclaim his exalted name.

A Song of Praise

And when that day comes, you’ll say: 'Lord, I’ll praise you. You were angry with me, but your anger faded, and you comforted me.' 'Look—God is rescuing me. I’ll trust him and not be afraid. The Lord is my strength and my song. He’s become my salvation.' 'So you’ll draw water with joy from the wells of salvation.'

And in that day you’ll say: 'Praise the Lord. Call on his name. Tell everyone what he’s done. Let them know his name stands above all others.' 'Sing to the Lord—he’s done amazing things. Let the whole earth know it.' 'Shout it out loud, people of Zion! The Holy One of Israel is great, and he’s right here among you.'
