¹Who 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 .”

²Why 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.

⁴For the day of vengeance was in my heart ,

and the year of my redeemed has come.

⁵I 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 .

⁶I trod down the peoples in my anger

and made them drunk in my wrath .

I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”

⁷I will tell of the loving kindnesses of the LORD

and the praises of the LORD ,

according to all that the LORD has given to us ,

and the great goodness towards the house of Israel ,

which he has given to them according to his mercies ,

and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses .

⁸For he said, “Surely , they are my people ,

children who will not deal falsely ;”

so he became their Saviour .

⁹In 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 .

¹⁰But they rebelled

and grieved his Holy Spirit .

Therefore he turned and became their enemy,

and he himself fought against them .

¹¹Then 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 amongst them ?”

¹²Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses ’ right hand ?

Who divided the waters before them , to make himself an everlasting name ?

¹³Who led them through the depths ,

like a horse in the wilderness ,

so that they didn’t stumble ?

¹⁴As the livestock that go down into the valley ,

the LORD ’s Spirit caused them to rest .

So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name .

¹⁵Look 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 towards me .

¹⁶For you are our Father,

though Abraham doesn’t know us ,

and Israel does not acknowledge us .

You , LORD , are our Father.

Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name .

¹⁷O LORD , 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 .

¹⁸Your holy people possessed it but a little while .

Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary .

¹⁹We have become like those over whom you never ruled ,

like those who were not called by your name .
