And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

His dominion shall be (F)‘from sea to sea,

The Lord in Judgment and Salvation

63 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is [a]glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—

“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

Why (A)is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

“I have (B)trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
For the (C)day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.
(D)I looked, but (E)there was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own (F)arm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.

They sing (A)the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the (B)Lamb, saying:

(C)“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
(D)Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the [a]saints!
(E)Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are (F)holy.
For (G)all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”

After these things I looked, and [b]behold, (H)the [c]temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the [d]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, (I)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.
