1 Who is this who comes from Edom [Red],
with dyed garments from Bozrah?
Who this who is glorious in his clothing,
marching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I who speak in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
2 Why is your clothing red,
and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
3 “I have trodden the wine press alone;
and of the peoples, no one was with me:
Yes, I trod them in my anger,
and trampled them in my wrath.
Their life-blood * is sprinkled on my garments,
and I have stained all my clothing.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and the year of my redeemed has come.
5 I looked, and there was no one to help;
and I wondered that there was no one to uphold:
therefore my own arm brought salvation to me;
and my own wrath upheld me.
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger,
and made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their life-blood on the earth.”
7 I will tell of the chesed ·loving-kindnesses· of Adonai
and the tehilahot ·praise songs· of Adonai,
according to all that Adonai has given to us,
and the great goodness toward the house of Israel [God prevails],
which he has given to them according to his rachamim ·merciful loves·,
and according to the multitude of his chesed ·loving-kindnesses·.

For he said, “Surely, they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely;”
so he became their salvation.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted,
and ha mal'ak Yahweh [the Angel of He sustains breathing] saved them.
In his love and in his pity he redeemed them.
He bore them,
and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled,
and grieved his Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit, Breath]. ‡
Therefore he turned and became their enemy,
and he himself fought against them.
11 §Then he remembered the days of old,
Moses [Drawn out] and his people, saying,
“Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put his Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit, Breath] among them?”
12 Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses [Drawn out]’ right hand?
Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 Who led them through the depths,
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they didn’t stumble?
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley,
Ruach Yahweh [Spirit, Breath of He sustains breathing] caused them to rest.
So you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven,
and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory.
Where are your zeal and your mighty acts?
The yearning of your heart and your rachamim ·compassionate loves· is restrained toward me.
16 For you are our Father,
though Abraham [Father of a multitude] does not know us,
and Israel [God prevails] does not acknowledge us.
You, Adonai, are our Father.
Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
17 O Adonai, why do you make us wander from your ways,
and harden our heart from your fear?
Teshuvah ·Complete return· for your servants’ sake,
the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while.
Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled,
like those who were not called by your name.
* 63:3 . Quoted in Rev 14:19-20 † 63:8 (8-9) MP: The Angel of God’s presence is referred to in Exodus and became their Savior from God. Therefore this Savior is sent from God as Servant, Priest, prophet, and later as King to save, redeem, and establish a people unto God. This establishes that Messiah is the Angel of Yahweh. (John 3:17; Acts 7:30-32) Messiah, as the Angel of God’s presence, acted on God’s directive to save and redeem God’s people (Ex 23:20-21, 32:34 with Is 43:11, 49:6) “for God’s name is in him [the angel] (Ex 23:21)”. Note: In combination, this prophecy is a key pin that identifies that “The Angel of Yahweh” who is also called “The Angel of God” who also shares names and titles with God and who identified with Yahweh. This is in fact the Messiah, God’s Servant at God’s right hand, sent to save and redeem by God’s command. (Is 43:11 – God is the only Savior, Is 63:8, Is 53:4-6 – the Servant who is afflicted and is in association with those in iniquity). In (Ex 23:21; Is 40:3, 40:9), the Angel shares titles with Yahweh. In (Gen 22:1-2, 22:11-12; Ex 3:2-4, 13:21, 14:19), the Angel of Yahweh is identified when Yahweh is also being identified. Yeshua says he represents Father God and are equal in (John 5:23, 10:30, 14:1, 14:9-11). For a complete list about “The Angel of the Lord” see Appendix 10. ‡ 63:10 . Quoted in Acts 7:51 § 63:11 (11-14) MP: Parallel to Yahweh and Holy Spirit during the Exodus, Messiah brings the presence of Holy Spirit with himself in like manner, but also in a different manner (Matt 28:19-20; John 14:16-17; Gal 5:16). Because of the atonement of Messiah, God has justice and promises to not removing his Spirit, (Hag 2:5). Individuals still can grieve and quench the Spirit (Eph 1:13, 4:30; 1 Thes 5:19; Heb 10:29). (Luke 10:9-11; Heb 10:29)
