The Lord In Judgment and Salvation

63 Who is this who comes from Edom,

With dyed garments from Bozrah,

This One who is 1glorious in His apparel,

Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—

“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

2 Why ais Your apparel red,

And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

3 “I have btrodden 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 cday of vengeance is in My heart,

And the year of My redeemed has come.

5 dI looked, but ethere was no one to help,

And I wondered

That there was no one to uphold;

Therefore My own farm 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.”

God’s Mercy Remembered

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 gIn all their affliction He was 2afflicted,

hAnd the Angel of His Presence saved them;

iIn His love and in His pity He redeemed them;

And jHe bore them and carried them

All the days of old.

10 But they krebelled and lgrieved His Holy Spirit;

mSo He turned Himself against them as an enemy,

And He fought against them.

11 Then he nremembered the days of old,

Moses and his people, saying:

“Where is He who obrought them up out of the sea

With the 3shepherd of His flock?

pWhere is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,

12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,

qWith His glorious arm,

rDividing the water before them

To make for Himself an everlasting name,

13 sWho 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,

tTo make Yourself a glorious name.
