Isaiah 63:7

Read in context

Isaiah 63:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.

6 I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”

7 I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

8 For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.

9 In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
