¹ Who is this that commeth from Edom, with died garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, trauelling in the greatnesse of his strength? I that speake in righteousnesse, mightie to saue. ² Wherefore art thou red in thine apparell, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? ³ I haue troden the winepresse alone, and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my furie, and their blood shall be sprinkled vpon my garments, and I will staine all my raiment. ⁴ For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the yeere of my redeemed is come. ⁵ And I looked, and there was none to helpe; and I wondered that there was none to vphold: therefore mine owne arme brought saluation vnto me, and my furie, it vpheld me. ⁶ And I will tread downe the people in mine anger, & make them drunke in my furie, and I will bring downe their strength to the earth.

⁷ I will mention the louing kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on vs; and the great goodnes towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them, according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his louing kindnesses. ⁸ For hee said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so hee was their sauiour. ⁹ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saued them: in his loue and in his pitie hee redeemed them, and he bare them, and caried them all the dayes of olde. ¹⁰ But they rebelled, and vexed his holy spirit: therefore hee was turned to be their enemie, and he fought against them. ¹¹ Then he remembred the dayes of old, Moses and his people, saying; Where is hee that brought them vp out of the Sea, with the shepheard of his flocke? where is hee that put his holy Spirit within him? ¹² That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arme, diuiding the water before them, to make himselfe an euerlasting name? ¹³ That led them through the deepe as an horse in the wildernesse, that they should not stumble? ¹⁴ As a beast goeth downe into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so diddest thou leade thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious Name.

¹⁵ Looke downe from heauen, and behold from the habitation of thy holinesse, and of thy glory: where is thy zeale and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained? ¹⁶ Doubtlesse thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel acknowledge vs not: thou, O Lord art our Father, our Redeemer, thy Name is from euerlasting. ¹⁷ O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes? and hardened our heart from thy feare? Returne for thy seruants sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. ¹⁸ The people of thy holinesse haue possessed it but a little while: our aduersaries haue troden downe thy Sanctuarie. ¹⁹ Wee are thine, thou neuer barest rule ouer them, they were not called by thy Name.
