Dual Panel1Who <04310> is this <02088> who comes <0935> from Edom <0123>, dressed <0899> in bright red <02556>, coming from Bozrah <01224>? Who is this <02088> one wearing royal <01921> attire <03830>, who marches <06808> confidently because of his great <07230> strength <03581>? “It is I <0589>, the one who announces <01696> vindication <06666>, and who is able <07227> to deliver <03467>!”
2Why <04069> are your clothes <03830> red <0122>? Why do you look like someone who has stomped <01869> on grapes in a vat <01660>?
3“I have stomped <01869> grapes in the winepress <06333> all by myself <0905>; no <0369> one <0376> from the nations <05971> joined <0854> me. I stomped <01869> on them in my anger <0639>; I trampled <07429> them down in my rage <02534>. Their juice <05332> splashed <05137> on <05921> my garments <0899>, and stained <01351> all <03605> my clothes <04403>.
4For <03588> I looked forward to the day <03117> of vengeance <05359>, and then payback <01350> time arrived <0935> <08141>.
5I looked <05027>, but there was no one <0369> to help <05826>; I was shocked <08074> because there was no one <0369> offering support <05564>. So my right arm <02220> accomplished deliverance <03467>; my raging anger <02534> drove <05564> me <01931> on <05564>.
6I trampled <0947> nations <05971> in my anger <0639>, I made them drunk <07937> in my rage <02534>, I splashed <03381> their blood <05332> on the ground <0776>.”
7I will tell <02142> of the faithful acts <02617> of the Lord <03068>, of the Lord’s <03068> praiseworthy deeds <08416>. I will tell about <05921> all <03605> the Lord <03068> did <01580> for us, the many <07227> good things <02898> he did <01580> for the family <01004> of Israel <03478>, because <0834> of his compassion <07356> and great <07230> faithfulness <02617>.
8He said <0559>, “Certainly <0389> they <01992> will be my people <05971>, children <01121> who are not <03808> disloyal <08266>.” He <01992> became <01961> their deliverer <03467>.
9Through all <03605> that they suffered <06869>, he suffered <06862> too. The messenger <04397> sent from his very presence <06440> delivered <03467> them. In his love <0160> and mercy <02551> he <01931> protected <01350> them; he lifted <05190> them up <05190> and carried <05375> them throughout <03605> ancient <05769> times <03117>.
10But they <01992> rebelled <04784> and offended <06087> his holy <06944> Spirit <07307>, so he <01931> turned <02015> into an enemy <0341> and fought <03898> against them.
11His people <05971> remembered <02142> the ancient <05769> times <03117>. Where <0346> is the one who brought <05927> them up out <05927> of the sea <03220>, along with <0854> the shepherd <07462> of his flock <06629>? Where <0346> is the one who placed <07760> his holy <06944> Spirit <07307> among <07130> them,
12the one who made his majestic <08597> power <02220> available to Moses <04872>, who divided <01234> the water <04325> before <06440> them, gaining <06213> for himself a lasting <05769> reputation <08034>,
13who led <01980> them through the deep <08415> water? Like a horse <05483> running on flat land <04057> they did not <03808> stumble <03782>.
14Like an animal <0929> that goes down <03381> into a valley <01237> to graze, so the Spirit <07307> of the Lord <03068> granted them rest <05117>. In this way <03651> you guided <05090> your people <05971>, gaining <06213> for yourself an honored reputation <08597> <08034>.
15Look down <05027> from heaven <08064> and take notice <07200>, from your holy <06944>, majestic <08597> palace <02073>! Where <0346> are your zeal <07068> and power <01369>? Do not hold back <0662> your tender <04578> <01995> compassion <07356>!
16For <03588> you <0859> are our father <01>, though <03588> Abraham <085> does not <03808> know <03045> us and Israel <03478> does not <03808> recognize <05234> us. You <0859>, Lord <03068>, are our father <01>; you have been called our protector <01350> from ancient times <05769>.
17Why <04100>, Lord <03068>, do you make <08582> us stray <08582> from your ways <01870>, and make <07188> our minds <03820> stubborn <07188> so that we do not obey <03374> you? Return <07725> for the sake <04616> of your servants <05650>, the tribes <07626> of your inheritance <05159>!
18For a short <04705> time your special <06944> nation <05971> possessed <03423> a land, but then our adversaries <06862> knocked down <0947> your holy sanctuary <04720>.
19We existed <01961> from ancient times <05769>, but you did not <03808> rule <04910> over them, they were not <03808> your subjects <08034> <07121>.
