1Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.63.1 glorious: Heb. decked 2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 6And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
7¶ I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 8For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. 9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
10¶ But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. 11Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?63.11 shepherd: or, shepherds 12That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 13That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? 14As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15¶ Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?63.15 the sounding: or, the multitude 16Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.63.16 our redeemer…: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name
17¶ O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 19We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.63.19 they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them
主報應列國
1這位身披紅衣、
穿著華麗、充滿力量、
從以東的波斯拉闊步而來的是誰呢？
「是宣告公義、
有拯救大能的我。」
2你的衣服為何是紅色的，
好像榨酒池中踩踏葡萄者的衣服？
3「我獨自在榨酒池踩踏，
萬民中無人跟我在一起。
我在憤怒中踩踏他們，
在烈怒中踐踏他們；
他們的血濺到我的衣服上，
染紅了我的衣服。
4我心中定了報仇的日子，
我救贖我子民之年已經來臨。
5我環顧四周，驚訝地看見無人幫助，無人扶持。
於是，在烈怒的推動下，
我用臂膀獨自拯救。
6我在憤怒中踐踏萬民，
讓他們飽嚐我的烈怒，
把他們的血倒在地上。」
頌讚與禱告
7因耶和華為我們所做的一切，
我要述說祂的慈愛和祂可歌可頌的作為，
述說祂本著憐憫和大愛賜給以色列人的厚恩。
8祂說：「他們的確是我的子民，
不會背叛我。」
因此，祂做他們的救主。
9祂苦他們所苦，
親自63·9 「親自」希伯來文是「祂面前的天使」。拯救他們。
祂本著慈愛和憐憫救贖了他們，
自古以來一直扶持、照顧他們。
10他們卻叛逆，使祂的聖靈憂傷。
於是，祂與他們為敵，
親自攻擊他們。
11後來，他們想起古時候，
想起了摩西和他的百姓，便問，
帶領百姓及其牧者摩西從海裡出來的那位在哪裡？
將自己的聖靈降在他們中間的那位在哪裡？
12用榮耀的臂膀扶持摩西，
在他們面前把海水分開，
使自己威名永存的那位在哪裡？
13帶領他們經過大海，
猶如馬行平川不會失腳的那位在哪裡？
14耶和華的靈使他們得到安歇，
猶如牲畜下到山谷。
耶和華啊，你就是這樣引領你的子民，
以樹立自己榮耀的名。
15求你從天上垂顧，
從你聖潔、榮耀的居所垂看。
你的熱忱和大能在哪裡呢？
難道你不再眷愛、憐憫我們嗎？
16雖然亞伯拉罕不認識我們，
以色列不承認我們，
但你是我們的父親。
耶和華啊，你是我們的父親，
你自古以來就是我們的救贖主。
17耶和華啊！你為何使我們偏離你的路，
使我們硬著心不敬畏你呢？
求你為了你的僕人，
你的產業——以色列各支派而改變心意！
18你的聖民曾短暫地擁有你的聖所，
如今它已被我們的敵人踏平。
19我們如此淪落，
好像從未被你治理過，
從來不屬於你。
