I looked, but there was (A)no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My (B)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
I (C)trampled down the peoples in My anger
And made them (D)drunk with My wrath,
And I [a]poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled

And according to the abundance of His mercies.

  1. Isaiah 63:6 Lit brought down their juice to the earth

I looked, but there was no one(A) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(B) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.(C)
I trampled(D) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk(E)
    and poured their blood(F) on the ground.”
