1 Who is this who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His clothing, Marching in the greatness of His power? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
3 And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My clothes.
4 And My year of redemption has come.
5 And I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me.
6 And made them drunk in My wrath, And I brought down their lifeblood to the earth.”
7 I shall bring to remembrance the lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh, According to all the ways that Yahweh has dealt bountifully with us, And the abundant goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has dealt bountifully to them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.
8 Sons who will not deal falsely.” So He became their Savior.
9 And the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, And He lifted them and carried them all the ancient days.
10 And grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy; He fought against them.
11 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 in the midst of them,
12 Who split the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not stumble;
14 The Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest. So You led Your people, To make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious habitation; Where are Your zeal and Your mighty deeds? The tumults within You and Your compassion are restrained toward me.
16 And Israel does not recognize us. You, O Yahweh, are our Father, Our Redeemer from everlasting is Your name.
17 And stiffen our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your slaves, the tribes of Your inheritance.
18 Our adversaries have trodden it down.
19 Like those who were not called by Your name.
