Ang Tagumpay ni Yahweh Laban sa mga Bansa

63 “Sino(A) itong dumarating na buhat sa Edom,
    buhat sa Bozra na ang maringal na kasuotan ay kulay pula?
Sino ang magiting na lalaking ito
    na kung lumakad ay puno ng kasiglahan?
Ako ang nagbabadya ng tagumpay;
    ang kalakasan ko'y sapat na upang kayo ay iligtas.”

“Bakit pula ang iyong suot?
    Tulad ng damit ng nagpipisa ng ubas upang gawing alak?”
Ang(B) sagot ni Yahweh: “Pinisa ko ang mga bansa na parang ubas,
    wala man lang tumulong sa akin;
tinapakan ko sila sa tindi ng aking galit,
    kaya natigmak sa dugo ang aking damit.
Nagtakda na ako ng araw upang maghiganti,
    sapagkat dumating na ang panahon ng aking pagliligtas.
Ako'y(C) naghanap ng makakatulong
    ngunit walang nakita kahit isa;
ako'y pinalakas ng aking galit,
    at mag-isa kong nakamit ang pagtatagumpay.
Sa tindi ng aking galit ay dinurog ko ang mga bansa,
    aking ibinuhos ang kanilang mga dugo sa lupa.”

Ang Kabutihan ni Yahweh sa Israel

Aking sasaysayin ang pag-ibig ni Yahweh na hindi nagmamaliw;
    pupurihin ko siya sa lahat ng bagay na kanyang ginawa para sa atin.
Tunay na kanyang pinagpala ang bayang Israel,
    dahil sa kahabagan niya at wagas na pag-ibig.
Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Sila ang bayan ko na aking hinirang,
    kaya hindi nila ako pagtataksilan.”
Iniligtas niya sila
    sa kapahamakan at kahirapan.
Hindi isang anghel,
    kung hindi si Yahweh mismo ang nagligtas sa kanila;
iniligtas sila dahil sa pag-ibig niya't habag,
    na sa simula pa ay kanya nang ipinakita.

10 Ngunit sa kabila nito, sila'y naghimagsik
    at pinighati nila ang kanyang banal na Espiritu;
dahil doon naging kaaway nila si Yahweh.
11 Pagkatapos, naalala nila ang panahon ni Moises,
    ang lingkod ni Yahweh.
Ang tanong nila, “Nasaan na si Yahweh, na nagligtas sa mga pinuno ng kanyang bayan nang sila'y tumawid sa Dagat ng mga Tambo?
Nasaan na si Yahweh, na nagbigay ng kanyang banal na Espiritu kay Moises?
12 Sa(D) pangalan ni Yahweh, hinawi ni Moises ang tubig ng dagat,
    kaya ang Israel doon ay naligtas.
At siya ay natanyag sa lahat para sa kanyang sarili.”
13 Natawid nila ang karagatan sa tulong ni Yahweh,
    parang kabayong matatag na hindi nabuwal.
14 Kung paanong ang kawan ay dinadala sa sariwang pastulan,
    ang Espiritu[a] ni Yahweh ang nagbigay ng kapahingahan sa kanyang bayan,
at sila'y ginabayan upang siya ay maparangalan.

Dalangin para sa Tulong ni Yahweh

15 Magmula sa langit tunghayan mo kami, Yahweh,
    at iyong pagmasdan mula sa iyong dakila at banal na trono.
Saan ba naroon ang malasakit mo at kapangyarihan?
    Pag-ibig mo at kahabagan,
    huwag kaming pagkaitan.
16 Kung walang nagawa sa amin si Jacob at Abraham,
ikaw lamang, Yahweh, ang aming pag-asa at Amang aasahan;
    tanging ikaw lamang ang nagliligtas ng aming buhay.
17 Bakit ba, O Yahweh, kami'y tinulutang maligaw ng landas,
    at ang puso nami'y iyong hinayaang maging matigas?
Balikan mo kami at iyong kaawaan,
    mga lingkod mo na tanging iyo lamang.
18 Kami, na iyong banal na bayan ay sandaling itinaboy ng mga kaaway;
    winasak nila ang iyong santuwaryo.
19 Ang turing mo sa amin ay parang hindi mo pinamahalaan;
    ang nakakatulad ay mga nilalang na di nakaranas na iyong pagharian.

The Lord’s Day of Vengeance

63 Who is this coming from Edom(A)
in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah—
this One who is splendid in His apparel,
rising up proudly[a] in His great might?

It is I, proclaiming vindication,[b]
powerful to save.

Why are Your clothes red,
and Your garments like one who treads a winepress?(B)

I trampled the winepress alone,
and no one from the nations was with Me.
I trampled them in My anger
and ground them underfoot in My fury;
their blood spattered My garments,
and all My clothes were stained.
For I planned the day of vengeance,[c](C)
and the year of My redemption[d] came.
I looked, but there was no one to help,(D)
and I was amazed that no one assisted;
so My arm accomplished victory for Me,
and My wrath assisted Me.
I crushed nations in My anger;
I made them drunk with My wrath(E)
and poured out their blood on the ground.(F)

Remembrance of Grace

I will make known the Lord’s faithful love
and the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,
because of all the Lord has done for us—
even the many good things
He has done for the house of Israel
and has done for them based on His compassion
and the abundance of His faithful love.
He said, “They are indeed My people,
children who will not be disloyal,”
and He became their Savior.
In all their suffering, He suffered,[e](G)
and the Angel of His Presence saved them.
He redeemed them
because of His love and compassion;(H)
He lifted them up and carried them
all the days of the past.(I)
10 But they rebelled
and grieved His Holy Spirit.(J)
So He became their enemy
and fought against them.
11 Then He[f] remembered the days of the past,
the days of Moses and his people.
Where is He who brought them out of the sea
with the shepherds[g] of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit among the flock?
12 He sent His glorious arm
to be at Moses’ right hand,
divided the waters before them(K)
to obtain eternal fame for Himself,
13 and led them through the depths
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they did not stumble.
14 Like cattle that go down into the valley,
the Spirit of the Lord gave them[h] rest.
You led Your people this way
to make a glorious name for Yourself.

Israel’s Prayer

15 Look down from heaven and see(L)
from Your lofty home—holy and beautiful.
Where is Your zeal and Your might?
Your yearning[i] and Your compassion
are withheld from me.
16 Yet You are our Father,
even though Abraham does not know us
and Israel doesn’t recognize us.
You, Yahweh, are our Father;
from ancient times,
Your name is our Redeemer.(M)
17 Why, Yahweh, do You make us stray from Your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear[j] You.(N)
Return, because of Your servants,
the tribes of Your heritage.
18 Your holy people had a possession[k]
for a little while,
but our enemies have trampled down
Your sanctuary.(O)
19 We have become like those You never ruled over,
like those not called by Your name.(P)

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)
