Who is this that
cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling
in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in
righteousness, mighty to save.
02 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and
thy garments like him that treadeth in the
winefat?
03 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the
people there was none with me: for I will tread
them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury;
and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my
garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
04 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and
the year of my redeemed is come.
05 And I looked, and there was none to help; and
I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me;
and my fury, it upheld me.
06 And I will tread down the people in mine
anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will
bring down their strength to the earth.
07 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the
Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to
all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the
great goodness toward the house of Israel, which
he hath bestowed on them according to his
mercies, and according to the multitude of his
lovingkindnesses.
08 For he said, Surely they are my people,
children that will not lie: so he was their
Saviour.
09 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 bare
them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:
therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he
fought against them.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and
his people, saying, Where is he that brought them
up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?
where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with
his glorious arm, dividing the water before them,
to make himself an everlasting name?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in
the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the
Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst
thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious
name.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the
habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory:
where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding
of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are
they restrained?
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham
be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not:
thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy
name is from everlasting.
17 O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy
ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear?
Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of
thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it
but a little while: our adversaries have trodden
down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over
them; they were not called by thy name.
