The Lord in Judgment and Salvation

Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is [a]glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength? —
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

1

God's Judgment on the Nations

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? -- I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2

Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

2

Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, And thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

3

“I have trodden 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.

3

I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.

4

For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.

4

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.

5

I looked, but there was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.

5

And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld 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.”

6

And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

God’s Mercy Remembered

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.

7

God's Mercies Recalled

I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon 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 lie.”
So He became their Savior.

8

And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.

9

In all their affliction He was [b]afflicted,
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.

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; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.

10

But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

10

But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he 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 [c]shepherd of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,

11

But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,

12

Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
With His glorious arm,
Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,

12

his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,

13

Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”

13

-- who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?

14

As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
To make Yourself a glorious name.

14

As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

15

A Prayer of Penitence

Look down from heaven,
And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?

15

Prayer for Mercy

Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?

16

Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.

16

For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.

17

O Lord, why have You made us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.

17

Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18

Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.

18

Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

19

We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.

19

We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
