8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemies;[a]
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.(A)
9 I must bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
and executes judgment for me.

like the mire of the streets.(C)

open their mouths against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We have devoured her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
at last we have seen it!”(B)
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out his threat;
as he ordained long ago,
he has demolished without pity;
he has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the might of your foes.(C)
