耶和華的得勝

63 那從以東、從波斯拉而來,

身穿赤紅色的衣服,

裝扮華麗、能力強大、

大步前行的,是誰呢?

“就是我,是憑著公義說話,有大能拯救的。”

你的服裝為甚麼有紅色的呢?

你的衣服為甚麼像個踹壓酒池的人的衣服一樣呢?

“我獨自踹酒槽;

萬民之中沒有一人與我同在;

我在忿怒中把他們踹下,

在烈怒中把他們踐踏;

他們的血濺在我的衣服上,

我把我所有的衣裳都染污了。

因為報仇的日子早已在我的心裡,

我救贖的年日早已經來到。

我觀看,但沒有人幫助;

我詫異,因沒有人扶持;

所以我用自己的膀臂為我施行了拯救,

我的烈怒扶持了我,

我在忿怒中踐踏萬民,

在烈怒中使他們沉醉,

又把他們的血倒在地上。”

 神善待以色列

我照著耶和華為我們所作的一切,

提說耶和華的慈愛,耶和華可稱頌的事,

和他賜給以色列家的大福,

就是照著他的憐憫

和豐盛的慈愛為他們作成的。

他曾說:“他們真是我的子民,

不行虛假的兒子”,

於是,在他們的一切苦難中,他就作了他們的拯救者。

他不再是敵對者,

並且他面前的使者拯救了他們。

他以自己的愛和憐憫救贖了他們;

在古時的一切日子,他背負他們,懷抱他們。

10 可是,他們竟然悖逆,

使他的聖靈憂傷;

所以他轉作他們的仇敵,

親自攻擊他們。

11 那時,他們想起古時的日子,就是摩西和他的人民的日子,說:

那把人民和他羊群的牧者從海裡領上來的,在哪裡呢?

那把自己的聖靈降在他們中間的,在哪裡呢?

12 那使自己榮耀的膀臂在摩西的右邊行走,

那在他們面前把水分開,為要建立永遠的名的,他在哪裡呢?

13 那帶領他們走過深海,

像馬走過曠野一樣,使他們不致跌倒的,在哪裡呢?

14 耶和華的靈使他們得了安息,

好像牲畜下到山谷;

你也這樣引導你的人民,

為要建立榮耀的名。

求主垂顧

15 求你從天上垂顧,從你聖潔、榮耀的居所觀看。

你的熱心和你的大能在哪裡呢?

你愛心的同情和憐憫向我止住了。

16 亞伯拉罕雖然不認識我們,

以色列也不承認我們,但你是我們的父。

耶和華啊!你是我們的父,

從亙古以來,你的名字就是“我們的救贖主”。

17 耶和華啊!你為甚麼使我們走錯,

離開你的道路?

使我們的心剛硬,不敬畏你呢?

求你為你眾僕人的緣故,為你產業的各支派的緣故,回心轉意吧!

18 你的聖民不過暫時得著你的聖所,

我們的敵人已經踐踏了你的聖所。

19 我們成了好像你從未治理過的人,

又像未曾得稱為你名下的人。

God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption

63 Who is this coming from Edom,(A)
    from Bozrah,(B) with his garments stained crimson?(C)
Who is this, robed in splendor,
    striding forward in the greatness of his strength?(D)

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”(E)

Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?(F)

“I have trodden the winepress(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;(I)
their blood spattered my garments,(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
It was for me the day of vengeance;(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
I looked, but there was no one(L) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(M) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.(N)
I trampled(O) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk(P)
    and poured their blood(Q) on the ground.”

Praise and Prayer

I will tell of the kindnesses(R) of the Lord,
    the deeds for which he is to be praised,
    according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things(S)
    he has done for Israel,
    according to his compassion(T) and many kindnesses.
He said, “Surely they are my people,(U)
    children who will be true to me”;
    and so he became their Savior.(V)
In all their distress he too was distressed,
    and the angel(W) of his presence(X) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(Y) them;
    he lifted them up and carried(Z) them
    all the days of old.(AA)
10 Yet they rebelled(AB)
    and grieved his Holy Spirit.(AC)
So he turned and became their enemy(AD)
    and he himself fought(AE) against them.

11 Then his people recalled[b] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(AF)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(AG)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(AH) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(AI) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(AJ) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(AK)
13 who led(AL) them through the depths?(AM)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(AN)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(AO) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven(AP) and see,
    from your lofty throne,(AQ) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(AR) and your might?
    Your tenderness and compassion(AS) are withheld(AT) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(AU)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge(AV) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer(AW) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(AX) from your ways
    and harden our hearts(AY) so we do not revere(AZ) you?
Return(BA) for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes that are your inheritance.(BB)
18 For a little while(BC) your people possessed your holy place,
    but now our enemies have trampled(BD) down your sanctuary.(BE)
19 We are yours from of old;
    but you have not ruled over them,
    they have not been called[c] by your name.(BF)
