Who is this
who comes
from aEdom
, With bgarments
of 1glowing
colors
from cBozrah
, This
One
who is majestic
in His apparel
, 2Marching
in the greatness
of His strength
? "It is I who speak
in righteousness
, dmighty
to save
."
Why is Your apparel
red
, And Your garments
like the one who atreads
in the wine
press
?
" aI have trodden the wine
trough
alone
, And from the peoples
there
was no
man
with Me. I also btrod
them in My anger
And ctrampled
them in My wrath
; And dtheir 1lifeblood
is sprinkled
on My garments
, And I 2stained
all
My raiment
.
"For the aday of vengeance
was in My heart
, And My year
of redemption
has come
.
"I looked, and there
was ano
one
to help
, And I was astonished
and there
was no
one
to uphold
; So My bown arm
brought
salvation
to Me, And My wrath
upheld
Me.
"I atrod down
the peoples
in My anger
And made them bdrunk
in My wrath
, And I 1poured
out their lifeblood
on the earth
."
I shall make mention
of the alovingkindnesses
of the LORD
, the praises
of the LORD
, According
to all
that the LORD
has granted
us, And the great
bgoodness
toward the house
of Israel
, Which
He has granted
them according to His ccompassion
And according to the abundance
of His lovingkindnesses
.
For He said, "Surely
, they are aMy people
, Sons
who will not deal
falsely
." So He became
their bSavior
.
In all their affliction
1 aHe was afflicted
, And the bangel
of His presence
saved
them; In His clove
and in His mercy
He dredeemed
them, And He elifted
them and carried
them all
the days
of old
.
But they arebelled And grieved
His bHoly
Spirit
; Therefore He turned
Himself to become their enemy
, He fought
against them.
Then aHis people remembered
the days
of old
, of Moses
. Where
is bHe who brought
them up out of the sea
with the 1shepherds
of His flock
? Where
is He who cput
His Holy
Spirit
in the midst
of 2them,
Who caused His aglorious arm
to go
at the right
hand
of Moses
, Who bdivided
the waters
before
them to make
for Himself an everlasting
name
,
Who led them through the depths
? Like the horse
in the wilderness
, they did not astumble
;
As the cattle which go
down
into the valley
, The Spirit
of the aLORD
gave
1them rest
. So
You bled
Your people
, To make
for Yourself a glorious
name
.
aLook down
from heaven
and see
from Your holy
and glorious
bhabitation
; Where
are Your czeal
and Your mighty
deeds
? The dstirrings
of Your heart
and Your compassion
are restrained
toward
me.
For You are our aFather, though
bAbraham
does not know
us And Israel
does not recognize
us. You, O LORD
, are our Father
, Our cRedeemer
from of old
is Your name
.
Why, O LORD
, do You acause us to stray
from Your ways
And bharden
our heart
from fearing
You? cReturn
for the sake
of Your servants
, the tribes
of Your heritage
.
Your holy people
possessed
Your sanctuary
for a little
while
, Our adversaries
have atrodden
it down
.
We have become like those over whom You have never
ruled
, Like those who were not called
by Your name
.
