Who is this coming from Edom , from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments ? Who is this robed in splendor , marching in the greatness of His strength ? “ It is I , proclaiming vindication , mighty to save. ”
Why are Your clothes red , and Your garments like one who treads the winepress ?
“ I have trodden the winepress alone ... , and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury ; their blood ... spattered My garments , and all My clothes were stained.
For the day of vengeance was in My heart , and the year of My redemption had come.
I looked , but there was no one to help ; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation and My own wrath ... upheld Me.
I trampled the nations in My anger ; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground. ”
I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and (His) praiseworthy Acts - , because of all that the LORD has done for us — the many good things for the house of Israel - - according to His great compassion (and) loving devotion.
For He said , “ They are surely My people , sons who will not be disloyal. ” So He became Savior.
In all their distress , ... He too was afflicted , and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them ; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
But they rebelled and grieved - His Holy Spirit. So He turned their enemy , (and) He Himself fought
Then His people remembered the days of old , the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock ? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them ,
who sent His glorious arm (to lead them) by the right hand of Moses , who divided the waters before them to gain everlasting renown ,
who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness , so that they did not stumble ?
Like cattle going down to the valley , the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make a glorious name.
Look down from heaven and see , from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might ? Your yearning ... and compassion for me are restrained.
Yet You are our Father , though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You , O LORD , are our Father ; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
Why , O LORD , do You make us stray from Your ways (and) harden our hearts from fearing You ? Return , for the sake of Your servants , the tribes of Your heritage.
For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place , but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
We have become like those You never ... ruled like those not called by Your name ....
