God’s Vengeance on the Nations

Who is this who comes from ^aEdom,With ^bgarments of ¹glowing colors from ^cBozrah,This One who is majestic in His apparel,²Marching in the greatness of His strength?“It is I who speak in righteousness, ^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 from the peoples there was no man with Me.I also ^btrod them in My angerAnd ^ctrampled them in My wrath;And ^dtheir ¹lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,And I ²stained all My raiment.4 “For the ^aday of vengeance was in My heart,And My year of redemption has come.5 “I looked, and there was ^ano one to help,And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;So My ^bown arm brought salvation to Me,And My wrath upheld Me.6 “I ^atrod down the peoples in My angerAnd made them ^bdrunk in My wrath,And I ¹poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

7 I shall make mention of the ^alovingkindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD,According to all that the LORD has granted us,And the great ^bgoodness toward the house of Israel,Which He has granted them according to His ^ccompassionAnd according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.8 For He said, “Surely, they are ^aMy people,Sons who will not deal falsely.”So He became their ^bSavior.9 In all their affliction ¹^aHe was afflicted,And the ^bangel of His presence saved them;In His ^clove and in His mercy He ^dredeemed them,And He ^elifted them and carried them all the days of old.10 But they ^arebelledAnd grieved His ^bHoly Spirit;Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,He fought against them.11 Then ^aHis people remembered the days of old, of Moses.Where is ^bHe who brought them up out of the sea with the ¹shepherds of His flock?Where is He who ^cput His Holy Spirit in the midst of ²them,12 Who caused His ^aglorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,Who ^bdivided the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,13 Who led them through the depths?Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not ^astumble;14 As the cattle which go down into the valley,The Spirit of the ^aLORD gave ¹them rest.So You ^bled Your people,To make for Yourself a glorious name.

“You Are Our Father”

15 ^aLook down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious ^bhabitation;Where are Your ^czeal and Your mighty deeds?The ^dstirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me.16 For You are our ^aFather, though ^bAbraham does not know usAnd Israel does not recognize us.You, O LORD, are our Father,Our ^cRedeemer from of old is Your name.17 Why, O LORD, do You ^acause us to stray from Your waysAnd ^bharden our heart from fearing You?^cReturn for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while,Our adversaries have ^atrodden it down.19 We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,Like those who were not called by Your name.

Vengeance of Yahweh

Who is this who comes from ^aEdom,With ^bgarments of ¹glowing colors from ^cBozrah,This One who is majestic in His clothing,²Marching in the greatness of His power?“It is I who speak in righteousness, ^dmighty to save.”2 Why is Your clothing red,And Your garments like the one who ^atreads in the wine press?3 “^aI have trodden the wine trough alone,And from the peoples there was no man with Me.I also ^btrod them in My angerAnd ^ctrampled them in My wrath;And ^dtheir ¹lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,And I ²stained all My clothes.4 “For the ^aday of vengeance was in My heart,And My year of redemption has come.5 “I looked, and there was ^ano one to help,And I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold;So My ^bown arm brought salvation to Me,And My wrath upheld Me.6 “I ^atrod down the peoples in My angerAnd made them ^bdrunk in My wrath,And I brought down their lifeblood to the earth.”

Remember the Lovingkindness of Yahweh

7 I shall bring to remembrance the ^alovingkindnesses of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh,According to all the ways that Yahweh has dealt bountifully with us,And the abundant ^bgoodness toward the house of Israel,Which He has dealt bountifully to them according to His ^ccompassionAnd according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.8 And He said, “Surely, they are ^aMy people,Sons who will not deal falsely.”So He became their ^bSavior.9 In all their distress ¹^aHe was distressed,And the ^bangel of His presence saved them;In His ^clove and in His mercy He ^dredeemed them,And He ^elifted them and carried them all the ancient days.10 But they ^arebelledAnd grieved His ^bHoly Spirit;Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy;He fought against them.11 Then ^aHis people remembered the ancient days, of Moses.Where is ^bHe who brought them up out of the sea with the ¹shepherds of His flock?Where is He who ^cput His Holy Spirit in the midst of ²them,12 Who caused His ^aglorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,Who ^bsplit the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,13 Who led them through the depths?Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not ^astumble;14 As the cattle which go down into the valley,The Spirit of ^aYahweh gave ¹them rest.So You ^bled Your people,To make for Yourself a glorious name.

Prayer for Mercy and Help

15 ^aLook down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious ^bhabitation;Where are Your ^czeal and Your mighty deeds?The ^dtumults within You and Your compassion are restrained toward me.16 For You are our ^aFather, though ^bAbraham does not know usAnd Israel does not recognize us.You, O Yahweh, are our Father,Our ^cRedeemer from everlasting is Your name.17 Why, O Yahweh, do You ^acause us to stray from Your waysAnd ^bstiffen our heart from fearing You?^cReturn for the sake of Your slaves, the tribes of Your inheritance.18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;Our adversaries have ^atrodden it down.19 We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,Like those who were not called by Your name.

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.
