1. Who is this coming from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? one who is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2. Why is there red on your apparel, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3. I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4. For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
5. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6. And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
7. I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
8. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Savior.
9. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
10. But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
12. That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13. That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14. As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
15. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where is your zeal and your strength, the pleading of your sympathy and of your mercies toward me? are they restrained?
16. Doubtless you are our father, though Abraham is ignorant of us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from everlasting.
17. O LORD, why have you caused us to err from your ways, and hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18. The people of your holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19. We are yours: you never ruled over them; they were not called by your name.
