63Who 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, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save."H935H123H2556H899H1224H1921H3830H6808H7230H3581H1696H6666H7227H34672Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress?H122H3830H899H1869H16603"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.H1869H6333H5971H376H1869H639H7429H2534H5332H5137H899H1351H44034For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redemption has come.H3117H5359H3820H8141H1350H9355I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me.H5027H5826H8074H5564H2220H3467H2534H55646I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground."H947H5971H639H7937H2534H3381H5332H776
Praise and Prayer
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 the house of Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses.H2142H2617H3068H8416H3068H3068H1580H7227H2898H1004H3478H1580H7356H7230H26178He said, "Surely they are my people, sons who will not be false to me"; and so he became their Savior.H559H5971H1121H8266H34679In 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.H6869H6862H4397H6440H3467H160H2551H1350H5190H5375H3117H576910Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.H4784H6087H6944H7307H2015H341H389811Then 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,H2142H3117H5769H4872H5971H5927H3220H7462H6629H7760H6944H7307H713012who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses' right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown,H3212H3225H4872H8597H2220H1234H4325H6440H6213H5769H803413who led them through the depths? Like a horse in open country, they did not stumble;H3212H8415H5483H4057H378214like 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.H929H3381H1237H7307H3068H5117H5090H5971H6213H8597H803415Look 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.H5027H8064H7200H2073H6944H8597H7068H1369H1995H4578H7356H66216But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.H3588H1H85H3808H3045H3478H5234H3068H1H1350H8034H576917Why, O 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.H3068H8582H1870H7188H3820H3374H7725H5650H7626H515918For a little while your people possessed your holy place, but now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary.H5971H6944H3423H4705H6862H947H472019We are yours from of old; but you have not ruled over them, they have not been called by your name.H5769H4910H7121H8034
