1. Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with his clothing stained red? Who is this in royal robes, marching in his great strength? "It is I, the LORD, announcing your salvation! It is I, the LORD, who has the power to save!"
|
1. Who H4310 is this H2088 that cometh H935 from Edom H4480 H123 , with dyed H2556 garments H899 from Bozrah H4480 H1224 ? this H2088 that is glorious H1921 in his apparel H3830 , traveling H6808 in the greatness H7230 of his strength H3581 ? I H589 that speak H1696 in righteousness H6666 , mighty H7227 to save H3467 .
|
|
2. Why are your clothes so red, as if you have been treading out grapes?
|
2. Wherefore H4069 art thou red H122 in thine apparel H3830 , and thy garments H899 like him that treadeth H1869 in the wine vat H1660 ?
|
|
3. "I have been treading the winepress alone; no one was there to help me. In my anger I have trampled my enemies as if they were grapes. In my fury I have trampled my foes. Their blood has stained my clothes.
|
3. I have trodden H1869 the winepress H6333 alone H905 ; and of the people H4480 H5971 there was none H369 H376 with H854 me : for I will tread H1869 them in mine anger H639 , and trample H7429 them in my fury H2534 ; and their blood H5332 shall be sprinkled H5137 upon H5921 my garments H899 , and I will stain H1351 all H3605 my raiment H4403 .
|
|
4. For the time has come for me to avenge my people, to ransom them from their oppressors.
|
4. For H3588 the day H3117 of vengeance H5359 is in mine heart H3820 , and the year H8141 of my redeemed H1350 is come H935 .
|
|
5. I was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So I myself stepped in to save them with my strong arm, and my wrath sustained me.
|
5. And I looked H5027 , and there was none H369 to help H5826 ; and I wondered H8074 that there was none H369 to uphold H5564 : therefore mine own arm H2220 brought salvation H3467 unto me ; and my fury H2534 , it H1931 upheld H5564 me.
|
|
6. I crushed the nations in my anger and made them stagger and fall to the ground, spilling their blood upon the earth."
|
6. And I will tread down H947 the people H5971 in mine anger H639 , and make them drunk H7937 in my fury H2534 , and I will bring down H3381 their strength H5332 to the earth H776 .
|
|
7. I will tell of the LORD's unfailing love. I will praise the LORD for all he has done. I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel, which he has granted according to his mercy and love.
|
7. I will mention H2142 the lovingkindnesses H2617 of the LORD H3068 , and the praises H8416 of the LORD H3068 , according H5921 to all H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath bestowed H1580 on us , and the great H7227 goodness H2898 toward the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , which H834 he hath bestowed H1580 on them according to his mercies H7356 , and according to the multitude H7230 of his lovingkindnesses H2617 .
|
|
8. He said, "They are my very own people. Surely they will not betray me again." And he became their Savior.
|
8. For he said H559 , Surely H389 they H1992 are my people H5971 , children H1121 that will not H3808 lie H8266 : so he was H1961 their Savior H3467 .
|
|
9. In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.
|
9. In all H3605 their affliction H6869 he was afflicted H6862 , and the angel H4397 of his presence H6440 saved H3467 them : in his love H160 and in his pity H2551 he H1931 redeemed H1350 them ; and he bore H5190 them , and carried H5375 them all H3605 the days H3117 of old H5769 .
|
|
10. But they rebelled against him and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.
|
10. But they H1992 rebelled H4784 , and vexed H6087 H853 his Holy H6944 Spirit H7307 : therefore he was turned H2015 to be their enemy H341 , and he H1931 fought H3898 against them.
|
|
11. Then they remembered those days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They cried out, "Where is the one who brought Israel through the sea, with Moses as their shepherd? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among his people?
|
11. Then he remembered H2142 the days H3117 of old H5769 , Moses H4872 , and his people H5971 , saying , Where H346 is he that brought them up H5927 out of the sea H4480 H3220 with H854 the shepherd H7462 of his flock H6629 ? where H346 is he that put H7760 H853 his Holy H6944 Spirit H7307 within H7130 him?
|
|
12. Where is the one whose power was displayed when Moses lifted up his hand-- the one who divided the sea before them, making himself famous forever?
|
12. That led H1980 them by the right hand H3225 of Moses H4872 with his glorious H8597 arm H2220 , dividing H1234 the water H4325 before H4480 H6440 them , to make H6213 himself an everlasting H5769 name H8034 ?
|
|
13. Where is the one who led them through the bottom of the sea? They were like fine stallions racing through the desert, never stumbling.
|
13. That led H1980 them through the deep H8415 , as a horse H5483 in the wilderness H4057 , that they should not H3808 stumble H3782 ?
|
|
14. As with cattle going down into a peaceful valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led your people, LORD, and gained a magnificent reputation."
|
14. As a beast H929 goeth down H3381 into the valley H1237 , the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 caused him to rest H5117 : so H3651 didst thou lead H5090 thy people H5971 , to make H6213 thyself a glorious H8597 name H8034 .
|
|
15. LORD, look down from heaven; look from your holy, glorious home, and see us. Where is the passion and the might you used to show on our behalf? Where are your mercy and compassion now?
|
15. Look down H5027 from heaven H4480 H8064 , and behold H7200 from the habitation H4480 H2073 of thy holiness H6944 and of thy glory H8597 : where H346 is thy zeal H7068 and thy strength H1369 , the sounding H1995 of thy bowels H4578 and of thy mercies H7356 toward H413 me? are they restrained H662 ?
|
|
16. Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, LORD, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past.
|
16. Doubtless H3588 thou H859 art our father H1 , though H3588 Abraham H85 be ignorant H3808 H3045 of us , and Israel H3478 acknowledge H5234 us not H3808 : thou H859 , O LORD H3068 , art our father H1 , our redeemer H1350 ; thy name H8034 is from everlasting H4480 H5769 .
|
|
17. LORD, why have you allowed us to turn from your path? Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you? Return and help us, for we are your servants, the tribes that are your special possession.
|
17. O LORD H3068 , why H4100 hast thou made us to err H8582 from thy ways H4480 H1870 , and hardened H7188 our heart H3820 from thy fear H4480 H3374 ? Return H7725 for thy servants' sake H4616 H5650 , the tribes H7626 of thine inheritance H5159 .
|
|
18. How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place, and now our enemies have destroyed it.
|
18. The people H5971 of thy holiness H6944 have possessed H3423 it but a little while H4705 : our adversaries H6862 have trodden down H947 thy sanctuary H4720 .
|
|
19. Sometimes it seems as though we never belonged to you, as though we had never been known as your people.
|
19. We are H1961 thine : thou never H3808 H4480 H5769 didst bear rule H4910 over them ; they were not H3808 called H7121 by H5921 thy name H8034 .
