Isaiah 63  Legacy Standard Bible

63 Who is this who comes from ^(A)Edom,
With ^(B)garments of ^[a]glowing colors from ^(C)Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His clothing,
^[b]Marching in the greatness of His power?
“It is I who speak in righteousness, ^(D)mighty to save.”
² Why is Your clothing red,
And Your garments like the one who ^(E)treads in the wine press?
³ “^(F)I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also ^(G)trod them in My anger
And ^(H)trampled them in My wrath;
And ^(I)their ^[c]lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I ^[d]stained all My clothes.
⁴ For the ^(J)day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
⁵ I looked, and there was ^(K)no one to help,
And I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold;
So My ^(L)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
⁶ I ^(M)trod down the peoples in My anger
And made them ^(N)drunk in My wrath,
And I brought down their lifeblood to the earth.”

⁷ I shall bring to remembrance the ^(O)lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh,
According to all the ways that Yahweh has dealt bountifully with us,
And the abundant ^(P)goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has dealt bountifully to them according to His ^(Q)compassion
And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.
⁸ And He said, “Surely, they are ^(R)My people,
Sons who will not deal falsely.”
So He became their ^(S)Savior.
⁹ In all their distress ^[e](T)He was distressed,
And the ^(U)angel of His presence saved them;
In His ^(V)love and in His mercy He ^(W)redeemed them,
And He ^(X)lifted them and carried them all the ancient days.
¹⁰ But they ^(Y)rebelled
And grieved His ^(Z)Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy;
He fought against them.
¹¹ Then ^(AA)His people remembered the ancient days, of Moses.
Where is ^(AB)He who brought them up out of the sea with the ^[f]shepherds of His flock?
Where is He who ^(AC)put His Holy Spirit in the midst of ^[g]them,
¹² Who caused His ^(AD)glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,
Who ^(AE)split the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,
¹³ Who led them through the depths?
Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not ^(AF)stumble;
¹⁴ As the cattle which go down into the valley,
The Spirit of ^(AG)Yahweh gave ^[h]them rest.
So You ^(AH)led Your people,
To make for Yourself a glorious name.

^15 (AI)Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious ^(AJ)habitation;
Where are Your ^(AK)zeal and Your mighty deeds?
The ^(AL)tumults within You and Your compassion are restrained toward me.
¹⁶ For You are our ^(AM)Father, though ^(AN)Abraham does not know us
And Israel does not recognize us.
You, O Yahweh, are our Father,
Our ^(AO)Redeemer from everlasting is Your name.
¹⁷ Why, O Yahweh, do You ^(AP)cause us to stray from Your ways
And ^(AQ)stiffen our heart from fearing You?
^(AR)Return for the sake of Your slaves, the tribes of Your inheritance.
¹⁸ Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while;
Our adversaries have ^(AS)trodden it down.
¹⁹ We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not called by Your name.
