Isaiah 63:6-9
The Message
Isaiah 63:6-9
The Message
3-6 “I’ve been treading the winepress alone.
No one was there to help me.
Angrily, I stomped the grapes;
raging, I trampled the people.
Their blood spurted all over me—
all my clothes were soaked with blood.
I was set on vengeance.
The time for redemption had arrived.
I looked around for someone to help
—no one.
I couldn’t believe it
—not one volunteer.
So I went ahead and did it myself,
fed and fueled by my rage.
I trampled the people in my anger,
crushed them under foot in my wrath,
soaked the earth with their lifeblood.”
All the Things God Has Done That Need Praising
7-9 I’ll make a list of God’s gracious dealings,
all the things God has done that need praising,
All the generous bounties of God,
his great goodness to the family of Israel—
Compassion lavished,
love extravagant.
He said, “Without question these are my people,
children who would never betray me.”
So he became their Savior.
In all their troubles,
he was troubled, too.
He didn’t send someone else to help them.
He did it himself, in person.
Out of his own love and pity
he redeemed them.
He rescued them and carried them along
for a long, long time.

New International Version
Isaiah 63:6-9
New International Version
6 I trampled(A) the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk(B)
and poured their blood(C) on the ground.”
Praise and Prayer
7 I will tell of the kindnesses(D) 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(E)
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion(F) and many kindnesses.
8 He said, “Surely they are my people,(G)
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.(H)
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel(I) of his presence(J) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(K) them;
he lifted them up and carried(L) them
all the days of old.(M)
