The Lord in Judgment and Salvation
1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is1 glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

3 “I have atrodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
5 aI looked, but bthere was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own carm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own carm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
Made them drunk in My fury,
And brought down their strength to the earth.”
Made them drunk in My fury,
And brought down their strength to the earth.”
God’s Mercy Remembered
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses 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,
According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.

Are they restrained?

Though Abraham bwas ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.

And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.

Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 aYour holy people have possessed it but a little while;
bOur adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
