Isaiah 63 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

The Lord

's Victory over the Nations

1 in Edom

with clothes stained red?

Who is this hero marching

in his glorious uniform?

“It's me, the Lord!

I have won the battle,

and I can save you!”

2What are those red spots?

Your clothes look stained

from trampling on grapes.

3

to see them in trouble,

and his angel saved them.

The Lord was truly merciful,

so he rescued his people.

He took them in his arms

and carried them all those years.

10Then the Lord's people

turned against him and made

his Holy Spirit sad.

So he became their enemy

and attacked them.

11But his people remembered

what had happened

during the time of Moses.

Didn't the Lord

bring them

and their leaders

safely through the sea?

Didn't he give them

his Holy Spirit?

12

marched beside Moses.

The Lord will be praised forever

for dividing the sea.

13He led his people across

like horses running wild

without stumbling.

14His Spirit gave them rest,

just as cattle find rest

when led into a valley.

The name of the Lord was praised

for doing these things.

A Prayer for Mercy and Help

15Please, Lord, look down

from your holy and glorious

home in the heavens

and see what's going on.

Have you lost interest?

Where is your power?

Show that you care about us

and have mercy!

16

and now our enemies

have torn it down.

19We act as though you

had never ruled us

or called us your people.
