1 ¶ Who is this who comes from Edom, in stained garments from Bozrah? this one who is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? It is I, the one who speaks in righteousness, mighty to save.

2 Why is your clothing red, and your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

3 I have trampled the winepress alone; and no one from the nations was with me: for I trampled them in my anger, and crushed them underfoot in my fury; and their blood spattered my garments, and all my clothes were stained.

4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year when I redeem is here.

5 And I looked, and there was no one to help; and I was amazed that there was no one to assist: therefore my own arm brought me the victory; and my fury supports me.

6 So I will tread down the nations in my anger, and make them drunk with my wrath, and I will pour out their lifeblood upon the earth.

7 ¶ I will make the loving kindness of the LORD known, and his deeds which should be praised, because of all that the LORD has done for us, and the many good things he has bestowed on the house of Israel, according to his mercy, and according to his abundant loving kindness.

8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely: so he was their Savior.

9 In all their suffering he suffered, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he took them up, and carried them all those days of long ago.

10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he became their enemy, and fought against them.

11 Then his people remembered the days of old, and Moses, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit within him?

12 Who led them by his glorious arm at the right hand of Moses, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 Who led them through the deep, like a horse through the desert, so that they would not stumble?

14 As cattle going down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD brought them to their rest: thus you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

15 ¶ Look down from heaven, and see from your holy and glorious home: where is your zeal and your strength? the yearning of your heart and your mercy is withheld from me.

16 Surely you are our father, even though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from everlasting.

17 O LORD, why have you let us err from your ways, and harden our heart so we do not fear you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.

18 Your holy people have possessed your sanctuary for a little while: but our adversaries have trampled it underfoot.

19 We have become to you, like those whom you never ruled over; like those who were not called by your name.
