\p
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 1 Who is this who comes from Edom, clothed in red from Bozrah?
|
||
\q1 Who is he in royal clothing, marching confidently because of his great strength?
|
||
\q1 It is I, speaking righteousness and powerfully able to save.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 2 Why are your clothes red, and why do they look like you have been treading grapes in a winepress?
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 3 I have trodden grapes in the winepress alone, and no one from the nations joined me.
|
||
\q1 I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my fury.
|
||
\q1 Their blood is spattered on my clothes and stained all my clothes.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 4 For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and the year for my redemption had arrived.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 5 I looked, and there was no one to help. I wondered that there was none to help,
|
||
\q1 but my own arm brought victory for me, and my strong anger drove me on.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath,
|
||
\q1 and I splashed their blood on the earth.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 7 I will tell of the acts of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness, the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh.
|
||
\q1 I will tell of all that Yahweh has done for us, and of his great goodness to the house of Israel.
|
||
\q1 This compassion he has shown us because of his mercy, and with many deeds of covenant faithfulness.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 8 For he said, "For certain they are my people, children who are not disloyal."
|
||
\q1 He became their Savior.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 9 Through all their suffering,
|
||
\q1 he suffered too, and the angel from his presence saved them.
|
||
\q1 In his love and mercy he saved them,
|
||
\q1 and he lifted them up and carried them through all the ancient times.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit.
|
||
\q1 So he became their enemy and fought against them.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 11 His people thought about the ancient times of Moses.
|
||
\q1 They said, "Where is God, who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock?
|
||
\q1 Where is God, who put his Holy Spirit among them?
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 12 Where is God, who made his glorious power go with the right hand of Moses,
|
||
\q1 and divided the water before them, to make an everlasting name for himself?
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 13 Where is God, who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land, they did not stumble.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest.
|
||
\q1 So you led your people, to make yourself a name of praise.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 15 Look down from heaven and take notice from your holy and glorious habitation.
|
||
\q1 Where are your zeal and your mighty acts?
|
||
\q1 Your pity and your compassionate actions are kept from us.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 16 For you are our father,
|
||
\q1 though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us,
|
||
\q1 you, Yahweh, are our father. 'Our Redeemer' has been your name from ancient times.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 17 Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you?
|
||
\q1 Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 18 Your people possessed your holy place for a short time, but then our enemies trampled it.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were never called by your name."
