God’s Vengeance on the Nations

Who is this who comes from ^aEdom,With crimson-stained ^bgarments from ^cBozrah in Edom,This One (the Messiah) who is majestic in His apparel,Marching in the greatness of His might?“It is I, the One who speaks in righteousness proclaiming vindication, ^dmighty to save.”2 Why is Your apparel red,And Your garments like the one who ^atreads in the wine press?3 “^aI have trodden the wine trough alone,And of the peoples there was no one with Me.I also ^btrod them in My angerAnd ^ctrampled them in My wrath;And ^dtheir lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,And I stained all My clothes.4 “For the ^aday of vengeance against ungodliness was in My heart,And My year of redemption of those who put their trust in Me—the year of My redeemed has come.5 “I looked, but there was ^ano one to help,And I was amazed and appalled that there was no one to uphold truth and right.So My ^bown arm brought salvation to Me,And My wrath sustained Me.6 “I ^atrampled the peoples in My angerAnd made them ^bdrunk with the cup of My wrath,And I spilled their lifeblood on the earth.”

7 I will tell of the ^alovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,According to all that the LORD has done for us,And His great ^bgoodness toward the house of Israel,Which He has shown them according to His ^ccompassionAnd according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.8 For He said, “Be assured, they are ^aMy people,Sons who will not be faithless.”So He became their ^bSavior in all their distresses.9 In all their distress ^aHe was distressed,And the ¹^bangel of His presence saved them,In His ^clove and in His compassion He ^dredeemed them;And He ^elifted them up and carried them all the days of old. Ex 23:20-23; 33:14, 15; Deut 1:31; 32:10-1210 But they ^arebelledAnd grieved His ^bHoly Spirit;Therefore He changed into their enemy,And He fought against them.11 Then ^aHis people remembered the days of old, of Moses and they said,Where is ^bHe who brought our fathers up out of the Red Sea, with the shepherds of His flock Moses and Aaron?Where is He who ^cput His Holy Spirit in their midst,12 Who caused His ^aglorious arm and infinite power to go at the right hand of Moses,^bDividing the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,13 Who led them through the depths of the Red Sea,Like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not ^astumble?14 Like the cattle that go down into the valley to find better pasture and rest,The Spirit of the ^aLORD gave them rest.So You ^bled Your people O LORDTo make for Yourself a beautiful and glorious name preparing the way for the acknowledgment of Your name by all nations.

“You Are Our Father”

15 ^aLook down from heaven and see from ^bYour lofty dwelling place, holy and glorious.Where are Your ^czeal and Your mighty acts Your miracles which you did for Your people?The stirring of Your ^dheart and Your compassion are restrained and withheld from me.16 For most certainly You are our ^aFather, even though ^bAbraham our ancestor does not know usAnd Israel does not acknowledge us.You, O LORD, are still our Father,Our ^cRedeemer from everlasting is Your name.17 O LORD, why do You ^acause us to stray from Your waysAnd ^bharden our heart from fearing You with reverence and awe?^cReturn for Your servants’ sake, the tribes of Your heritage.18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for only a little while;Our adversaries have ^atrampled it down.19 We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,Like those who were not called by Your name.
