Chapter
63

1
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.

2
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that
treadeth in the winefat?

3
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.

4
For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

5
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.

6
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.

7
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.

8
For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was
their Saviour.

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 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.
