1“Who is this coming from Edom,[#Isa 34.5, 6; Am 1.12; Zeph 3.17]
from Bozrah in garments stained crimson?
Who is this so splendidly robed,
marching in his great might?”
“It is I, announcing vindication,
mighty to save.”
2“Why are your robes red[#Rev 19.13, 15]
and your garments like theirs who tread the winepress?”
3“I have trodden the winepress alone,[#Isa 22.5; 28.3; Mic 7.10; Rev 19.15]
and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their juice spattered on my garments,
and I stained all my robes.
4For the day of vengeance was in my mind,[#Isa 34.8; 61.2]
and the year for my redeeming work had come.
5I looked, but there was no helper;[#Ps 98.1; Isa 52.10; 59.16]
I was abandoned, and there was no one to sustain me,
so my own arm brought me victory,
and my wrath sustained me.
6I trampled down peoples in my anger;[#Isa 34.3; 51.17, 21, 22; 65.12]
I crushed them in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
7I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord ,[#1 Kings 8.66; Ps 51.1; Isa 54.8, 10]
the praiseworthy acts of the Lord ,
because of all that the Lord has done for us
and the great favor to the house of Israel
that he has shown them according to his mercy,
according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
8For he said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will not act deceitfully,”
and he became their savior
9in all their distress.[#Ex 19.4; 23.20–23; Deut 1.31; 7.7, 8; Judg 10.16]
It was no messenger or angel
but his presence that saved them;
in his love and pity it was he who redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10But they rebelled[#Ps 78.40; 106.40; Acts 7.51; Eph 4.30]
and grieved his holy spirit;
therefore he became their enemy;
he himself fought against them.
11Then they remembered the days of old,[#Ex 14.30; Num 11.17; Ps 106.44, 45; Isa 51.9, 10; #63.11 Heb he]
of Moses his servant.
Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is the one who put within them
his holy spirit,
12who caused his glorious arm[#Ex 14.21; 15.6; Isa 50.10, 11]
to march at the right hand of Moses,
who divided the waters before them
to make for himself an everlasting name,
13who led them through the depths?[#Ps 106.9]
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.
14Like cattle that go down into the valley,[#Deut 32.12]
the spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
Thus you led your people,
to make for yourself a glorious name.
15Look down from heaven and see,[#Deut 26.15; Ps 80.14; Jer 31.20; Hos 11.8]
from your holy and glorious habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
Your great pity and your compassion are withheld from me.
16For you are our father,[#Isa 44.6; 51.2; 60.16; 64.8]
though Abraham does not know us
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord , are our father;
our Redeemer from of old is your name.
17Why, O Lord , do you let us stray from your ways[#Num 10.36; Isa 29.13, 14; Ezek 14.7–9]
and let our heart harden, so that we do not fear you?
Turn back for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your heritage.
18Your holy people took possession for a little while,[#Deut 7.6; Ps 74.3–7]
but now our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
19We have long been like those whom you do not rule,[#Lam 3.43–45]
like those not called by your name.
