# Chapter 63
|
|
1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
|
|
in crimsoned garments from Bozrah,
|
|
he who is splendid in his apparel,
|
|
marching in the greatness of his strength?
|
|
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
|
|
mighty to save.”
|
|
2 Why is your apparel red,
|
|
and your garments like his who treads in the winepress?
|
|
3 “I have trodden the winepress alone,
|
|
and from the peoples no one was with me;
|
|
I trod them in my anger
|
|
and trampled them in my wrath;
|
|
their lifeblood spattered on my garments,
|
|
and stained all my apparel.
|
|
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
|
|
and my year of redemption had come.
|
|
5 I looked, but there was no one to help;
|
|
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
|
|
so my own arm brought me salvation,
|
|
and my wrath upheld me.
|
|
6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
|
|
I made them drunk in my wrath,
|
|
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
|
|
7 I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord,
|
|
the praises of the Lord,
|
|
according to all that the Lord has granted us,
|
|
and the great goodness to the house of Israel
|
|
that he has granted them according to his compassion,
|
|
according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
|
|
8 For he said, “Surely they are my people,
|
|
children who will not deal falsely.”
|
|
And 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;
|
|
he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
|
|
10 But they rebelled
|
|
and grieved his Holy Spirit;
|
|
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
|
|
and himself fought against them.
|
|
11 Then he remembered the days of old,
|
|
of Moses and his people.
|
|
Where is he who brought them up out of the sea
|
|
with the shepherds of his flock?
|
|
Where is he who put in the midst of them
|
|
his Holy Spirit,
|
|
12 who caused his glorious arm
|
|
to go at the right hand of Moses,
|
|
who divided the waters before them
|
|
to make for himself an everlasting name,
|
|
13 who led them through the depths?
|
|
Like a horse in the desert,
|
|
they did not stumble.
|
|
14 Like livestock that go down into the valley,
|
|
the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
|
|
So you led your people,
|
|
to make for yourself a glorious name.
|
|
15 Look down from heaven and see,
|
|
from your holy and beautiful habitation.
|
|
Where are your zeal and your might?
|
|
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
|
|
are held back from me.
|
|
16 For you are our Father,
|
|
though Abraham does not know us,
|
|
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
|
|
you, O Lord, are our Father,
|
|
our Redeemer from of old is your name.
|
|
17 O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways
|
|
and harden our heart, so that we fear you not?
|
|
Return for the sake of your servants,
|
|
the tribes of your heritage.
|
|
18 Your holy people held possession for a little while;
|
|
our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
|
|
19 We have become like those over whom you have never ruled,
|
|
like those who are not called by your name. |
