The chapter 12 of Isaiah is a Hymn of Praise. Another graphic description of the people's joy when Jesus comes to reign over the earth. Interestingly there are 3 important aspects in one verse:
1. Praise – Praise gives God the glory due unto His name
2. Prayer (call upon His name) – The original meaning of this phrase – call upon His Name means to specifically call Him by His name Jehovah, the name above all names.
