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 re-

deemed 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 lovingkind-

nesses 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 be-

stowed on them according to his

mercies, and according to the multi-

tude 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 af-

flicted, and the angel of his pre-

sence 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 re-

strained?

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 ever-

lasting.

17.  ¶ O LORD, why hast thou made

us to err from thy ways, and hard-

ened our heart from thy fear?  Re-

turn 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.
