8 (A)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
(B)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
9 (C)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my (D)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
10 Then she who is my enemy will see,
And (E)shame will cover her who said to me,
(F)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.

New King James Version
15 All who [a]pass by (A)clap their hands at you;
They hiss (B)and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
(C)‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”
16 (D)All your enemies have opened their mouth against you;
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, (E)“We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the (F)day we have waited for;
We have found it, (G)we have seen it!”
17 The Lord has done what He (H)purposed;
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to (I)rejoice over you;
He has exalted the [b]horn of your adversaries.
