| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength? "It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save." |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3"I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4It was for me the day of vengeance; the year for me to redeem had come. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm achieved salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground." |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us-- yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He said, "Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me"; and so he became their Savior. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people-- where is he who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them, |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses' right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13who led them through the depths? Like a horse in open country, they did not stumble; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14like cattle that go down to the plain, they were given rest by the Spirit of the LORD. This is how you guided your people to make for yourself a glorious name. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Look down from heaven and see, from your lofty throne, holy and glorious. Where are your zeal and your might? Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Why, LORD, do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts so we do not revere you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes that are your inheritance. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18For a little while your people possessed your holy place, but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19We are yours from of old; but you have not ruled over them, they have not been called by your name. |
