CHAPTER 63
The LORD in Judgment and Salvation
God’s Mercy Remembered
​
1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
​​With dyed garments from Bozrah,
​​This One who is glorious in His apparel,
​​Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
​
​​“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
​
2 ​​Why is Your apparel red,
​​And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
​
3 ​​“I have trodden 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.
4 ​​For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
​​And the year of My redeemed has come.
5 ​​I looked, but there was no one to help,
​​And I wondered
​​That there was no one to uphold;
​​Therefore My own arm 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.”
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.
8 ​​For He said, “Surely they are My people,
​​Children who will not lie.”
​​So He became their Savior.
9 ​​In all their affliction He was afflicted,
​​And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
​​In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
​​And He bore them and carried them
​​All the days of old.
10 ​​But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
​​So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
​​And He fought against them.
​
11 ​​Then he remembered the days of old,
​​Moses and his people, saying:
​​“Where is He who brought them up out of the sea
​​With the shepherd of His flock?
​​Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 ​​Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
​​With His glorious arm,
​​Dividing the water before them
​​To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 ​​Who led them through the deep,
​​As a horse in the wilderness,
​​That they might not stumble?”
​
14 ​​As a beast goes down into the valley,
​​And the Spirit of the LORD causes him to rest,
​​So You lead Your people,
​​To make Yourself a glorious name.
A Prayer of Penitence
​
15 ​​Look down from heaven,
​​And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
​​Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
​​The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
​​Are they restrained?
16 ​​Doubtless You are our Father,
​​Though Abraham was ignorant of us,
​​And Israel does not acknowledge us.
​​You, O LORD, are our Father;
​​Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 ​​O LORD, why have You made us stray from Your ways,
​​And hardened our heart from Your fear?
​​Return for Your servants’ sake,
​​The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 ​​Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
​​Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19 ​​We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
​​Those who were never called by Your name.
