# Chapter 63
|
||
1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
|
||
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
|
||
This One who is glorious in His apparel,
|
||
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
|
||
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
|
||
2 Why is Your apparel red,
|
||
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
|
||
3 “I have trodden the winepress alone,
|
||
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
|
||
For I have trodden them in My anger,
|
||
And trampled them in My fury;
|
||
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
|
||
And I have stained all My robes.
|
||
4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
|
||
And the year of My redeemed has come.
|
||
5 I looked, but there was no one to help,
|
||
And I wondered
|
||
That there was no one to uphold;
|
||
Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me;
|
||
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
|
||
6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
|
||
Made them drunk in My fury,
|
||
And brought down their strength to the earth.”
|
||
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord
|
||
And the praises of the Lord,
|
||
According to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
|
||
And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
|
||
Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies,
|
||
According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
|
||
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people,
|
||
Children who will not lie.”
|
||
So He became their Savior.
|
||
9 In all their affliction He was afflicted,
|
||
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
|
||
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
|
||
And He bore them and carried them
|
||
All the days of old.
|
||
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
|
||
So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
|
||
And He fought against them.
|
||
11 Then he remembered the days of old,
|
||
Moses and his people, saying:
|
||
“Where is He who brought them up out of the sea
|
||
With the shepherd of His flock?
|
||
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
|
||
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
|
||
With His glorious arm,
|
||
Dividing the water before them
|
||
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
|
||
13 Who led them through the deep,
|
||
As a horse in the wilderness,
|
||
That they might not stumble?”
|
||
14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
|
||
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
|
||
So You lead Your people,
|
||
To make Yourself a glorious name.
|
||
15 Look down from heaven,
|
||
And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
|
||
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
|
||
The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
|
||
Are they restrained?
|
||
16 Doubtless You are our Father,
|
||
Though Abraham was ignorant of us,
|
||
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
|
||
You, O Lord, are our Father;
|
||
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
|
||
17 O Lord, why have You made us stray from Your ways,
|
||
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
|
||
Return for Your servants’ sake,
|
||
The tribes of Your inheritance.
|
||
18 Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
|
||
Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
|
||
19 We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
|
||
Those who were never called by Your name. |
