It connects to the eschatological hope found throughout Isaiah, where God's people will experience ultimate redemption. The "day" signifies a time of divine intervention and fulfillment of God's promises.Give praise to the LORD; Praising the LORD is a central theme in the Bible, emphasizing gratitude and worship. This call to praise reflects the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness. It echoes the Psalms, where praise is a response to God's mighty acts and character (e.g., <a href="/psalms/150.htm">Psalm 150</a>).proclaim His name! Proclaiming God's name involves declaring His character and deeds. In ancient Israel, a name represented one's essence and reputation. This proclamation is a call to evangelism, sharing the knowledge of God with others, as seen in the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>).Make His works known among the peoples; This phrase emphasizes the importance of testifying to God's actions, not just within Israel but to all nations. It reflects the universal scope of God's salvation plan, as seen in the Abrahamic covenant (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>) and the prophetic vision of all nations worshiping God (<a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-4</a>).declare that His name is exalted. Exalting God's name means recognizing His supreme authority and holiness. This declaration is an act of worship and acknowledgment of God's rightful place above all creation.

It is always regarded as one of man's chief duties to testify of God's goodness to others. Here Israel is called upon to publish God's mercies and great deeds to the Gentiles. His name is exalted. God is in his Name, and his Name expresses his nature. As there is nothing so exalted in all the universe as God, so there is no name so exalted as his Name. Hence his Name is protected by an express commandment. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/12-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and on that הַה֗וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day you will say: וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֞ם (wa·’ă·mar·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say “Give thanks הוֹד֤וּ (hō·w·ḏū) Verb - Hifil - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3034.htm">Strong's 3034: </a> To throw, at, away, to revere, worship, to bemoan to the LORD; לַֽיהוָה֙ (Yah·weh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> YHWH proclaim קִרְא֣וּ (qir·’ū) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> To call, proclaim, read His name! בִשְׁמ֔וֹ (ḇiš·mōw) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name Make הוֹדִ֥יעוּ (hō·w·ḏî·‘ū) Verb - Hifil - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know His works {known} עֲלִֽילֹתָ֑יו (‘ă·lî·lō·ṯāw) Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5949.htm">Strong's 5949: </a> An exploit, a performance, an opportunity among the peoples; בָֽעַמִּ֖ים (ḇā·‘am·mîm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock declare הַזְכִּ֕ירוּ (haz·kî·rū) Verb - Hifil - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male that כִּ֥י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction His name שְׁמֽוֹ׃ (šə·mōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name is exalted. נִשְׂגָּ֖ב (niś·gāḇ) Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7682.htm">Strong's 7682: </a> To be, lofty, inaccessible, safe, strong <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/12-4.htm">Isaiah 12:4 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/12-4.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 12:4 In that day you will say Give (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/12-3.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 12:3"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 12:3" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/12-5.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 12:5"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 12:5" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
