19 Heb “in all their distress, there was distress to him” (reading לוֹ [lo] with the margin/Qere).
20 Heb “the messenger [or “angel”] of his face”; “the angel of his presence.” This may refer to the “angel of God” mentioned in Exod 14:19, who in turn may be identical to the divine “presence” (literally, “face”) referred to in Exod 33:14–15 and Deut 4:37. Here in Isa 63 this messenger may be equated with God’s “holy Spirit” (see vv. 10–11) and “the Spirit of the Lord” (v. 14). See also Ps 139:7, where God’s “Spirit” seems to be equated with his “presence” (literally, “face”) in the synonymous parallelistic structure.
21 Or “redeemed” (, , ), or “delivered.”
22 Heb “all the days of antiquity”; , , , , “days of old.”
