Second Coming shall be a day of vengeance and also the year of the redeemed of the Lord—Then shall the saints praise the Lord and acknowledge him as their father.

 WHO is this that ^acometh from ^bEdom^•, 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.

 Wherefore art thou ^ared^• in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the ^bwinefat^•?

 I have trodden the ^awinepress^• 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 ^bsprinkled^• upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

 For the day of ^avengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my ^bredeemed^• is come.

 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought ^asalvation^• unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and ^amake^• them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

 ¶ I will mention the ^alovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great ^bgoodness^• toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their ^aSaviour.

 In all their ^aaffliction^• he was afflicted, and the ^bangel^• of his ^cpresence^• saved them: in his ^dlove and in his pity he ^eredeemed^• them; and he bare them, and ^fcarried^• them all the days of old.

 ¶ But they ^arebelled^•, and ^bvexed his ^choly Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their ^denemy^•, and he fought against them.

 Then ^ahe^• remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the ^bsea with the ^cshepherd^• of his ^dflock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within ^ehim^•?

 That led them by the right hand of ^aMoses^• with his glorious arm, ^bdividing^• the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

 ^aAs^• a beast goeth down into the valley, the ^bSpirit of the LORD caused ^chim^• to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious ^dname^•.

 ¶ ^aLook^• down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy ^bholiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, ^cthe^• sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

 Doubtless thou art our ^afather^•, though Abraham ^bbe^• ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from ^ceverlasting.

 ¶ O LORD, why hast thou ^amade^• us to err from thy ways, and ^bhardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

 The ^apeople^• of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have ^btrodden^• down thy sanctuary.

 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy ^aname^•.
