Isaiah 63

God’s Vengeance on the Nations

1WhoH4310 is thisH2088 who comesH935 from 1EdomH112, With 2garmentsH899 of 3glowingH2556 colorsH2556 from 4BozrahH1224, ThisH2088 OneH2088 who is majesticH1921 in His apparelH3830, 5MarchingH6805 in the greatnessH7230 of His strengthH3581? “It is I, the One who speaksH1696 in righteousnessH6666, 6mightyH7227 to saveH3467.”2WhyH4069 is Your apparelH3830 redH122, And Your garmentsH899 like one who 7treadsH1869 in the wineH1660 pressH1660?3“8I have troddenH1869 the wineH6333 troughH6333 aloneH905, And from the peoplesH5971 thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH376 with Me. I also 9trodH1869 them in My angerH639 And 10trampledH7429 them in My wrathH2534; And 11their 12lifebloodH5332 is sprinkledH5137 on My garmentsH899, And I 13stainedH1351 allH3605 My clothesH4403.4For the 14dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 was in My heartH3820, And My yearH8141 of redemptionH1347 has comeH935.5I lookedH5027, but thereH369 wasH369 15noH369 oneH369 to helpH5826, And I was astonishedH8074 and thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 to upholdH5564; So My 16own armH2220 broughtH3467 salvationH3467 to Me, And My wrathH2534 upheldH5564 Me.6I 17trampledH947 downH947 the peoplesH5971 in My angerH639 And madeH7937 them 18drunkH7937 with My wrathH2534, And I 19pouredH3381 outH3381 their lifebloodH5332 on the earthH776.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

7I will makeH2142 mentionH2142 of the 20merciesH2617 of the LordH3068, and the praisesH8416 of the LordH3068, AccordingH5921 to allH3605 that the LordH3068 has grantedH1580 us, And the greatH7227 21goodnessH2898 toward the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, WhichH834 He has grantedH1580 them according to His 22compassionH7356 And according to the abundanceH7230 of His merciesH2617.8For He saidH559, “CertainlyH389 they are 23My peopleH5971, SonsH1121 who will not dealH8266 falselyH8266.” So He becameH1961 their 24SaviorH3467.9In allH3605 their distressH6869 2526He was distressedH6862, And the 27angelH4397 of His presenceH6440 savedH3467 them; In His 28loveH160 and in His mercyH2551 He 29redeemedH1350 them, And He 30liftedH5190 them and carriedH5375 them allH3605 the daysH3117 of oldH5769.10But they 31rebelledH4784 And grievedH6087 His 32HolyH6944 SpiritH7307; Therefore He turnedH2015 Himself to become their enemyH340, He foughtH3898 against them.11Then 33His peopleH5971 rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, of MosesH4872. WhereH346 is 34He who broughtH5927 them upH5927 out of the seaH3220 with the 35shepherdsH7462 of His flockH6629? WhereH346 is He who 36putH7760 His HolyH6944 SpiritH7307 in the midstH7130 of 37them,12Who caused His 38gloriousH8597 armH2220 to goH1980 at the rightH3225 handH3225 of MosesH4872, Who 39dividedH1234 the watersH4325 beforeH4480H6440 them to makeH6213 for Himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034,13Who ledH1980 them through the depthsH8415? Like the horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, they did not 40stumbleH3782;14Like the cattleH929 which goH3381 downH3381 into the valleyH1237, The SpiritH7307 of the 41LordH3068 gaveH5117 42them restH5117. SoH3651 You 43ledH5090 Your peopleH5971, To makeH6213 for Yourself a gloriousH8597 nameH8034.

You Are Our Father

1544LookH5027 downH5027 from heavenH8064 and seeH7200 from Your holyH6944 and gloriousH8597 45loftyH2073 habitationH2073; WhereH346 are Your 46zealH7068 and Your mightyH1369 deedsH1369? The 47stirringsH1995 of Your heartH4578 and Your compassionH7356 are restrainedH662 towardH413 me.16For You are our 48FatherH1, thoughH3588 49AbrahamH85 does not knowH3045 us And IsraelH3478 does not recognizeH5234 us. You, LordH3068, are our FatherH1, Our 50RedeemerH1350 from ancientH5769 timesH5769 is Your nameH8034.17WhyH4100, LordH3068, do You 51cause us to strayH8582 from Your waysH1870 And 52hardenH7188 our heartH3820 from fearingH3374 You? 53ReturnH7725 for the sakeH4616 of Your servantsH5650, the tribesH7626 of Your heritageH5159.18Your holyH6944 peopleH5971 possessedH3423 Your sanctuaryH4720 for a littleH4705 whileH4705, Our adversariesH6862 have 54trampledH947 it downH947.19We have becomeH1961 like those over whom You have neverH3808H4480H5769 ruledH4910, Like those who were not calledH7121 by Your nameH8034.
