1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
with dyed garments from Bozrah?
Who is this who is glorious in his clothing,
marching in the greatness of his strength?
"It is I who speak in righteousness,
mighty to save."
2 Why is your clothing red,
and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3 "I have trodden the wine press alone.
Of the peoples, no one was with me.
Yes, I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath.
Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments,
and I have stained all my clothing.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 I looked, and there was no one to help;
and I wondered that there was no one to uphold.
Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me.
My own wrath upheld me.
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger
and made them drunk in my wrath.
I poured their lifeblood out on the earth."
7 I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh
and the praises of Yahweh,
according to all that Yahweh has given to us,
and the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
which he has given to them according to his mercies,
and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8 For he said, "Surely, they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely;"
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.
He bore them,
and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled
and grieved his Holy Spirit.
Therefore he turned and became their enemy,
and he himself 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 shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?"
12 Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand?
Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 Who led them through the depths,
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they didn’t stumble?
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley,
Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest.
So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven,
and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory.
Where are your zeal and your mighty acts?
The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
16 For you are our Father,
though Abraham doesn’t know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, Yahweh, are our Father.
Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
17 O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways,
and harden our heart from your fear?
Return for your servants’ sake,
the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while.
Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled,
like those who were not called by your name.
1 Who [is] this that comes from Edom, with red garments from Bozrah? This glorious [one] in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Why [art thou] red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treads in the winefat?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples [there was] no one with me; for I have trodden them with my anger and have trampled them with my fury; and their blood sprinkled my garments and stained all my raiment.
4 For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And I looked, and [there was] no one to help; and I wondered that [there was] no one to uphold [me]; therefore my own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 And I have trampled down the people with my anger and made them drunk in my fury, and I brought down their strength to the earth.
7 I will mention the mercies of the LORD [and] the praises of the LORD according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us and the greatness of his goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 For he said, Surely they [are] my people, sons [that] do not lie: and he was their Saviour.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his face saved them: with his love and with his clemency he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of the age.
10 But they were rebels and angered his holy Spirit; therefore, he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he himself fought against them.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where [is] he that put his Holy Spirit within him?
12 He that led [them] by the right hand of Moses with the arm of his glory, he who divided the water before them, thus making himself an everlasting name?
13 He that led them through the deep, as [a] horse in the wilderness, they never stumbled.
14 The Spirit of the LORD pastored them as a beast that goes down into the valley; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory; where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the feeling of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel not acknowledge us; thou, O LORD, [art] our father; our everlasting Redeemer is thy name.
17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways? Hast thou hardened our heart to thy fear? Return for thy servants, for the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed [the promised land] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We have been like those over whom thou didst never rule, who were never called by thy name.:
