But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
    (A)I will wait for the God of my salvation;
    my God will hear me.

(B)Rejoice not over me, O (C)my enemy;
    (D)when I fall, I shall rise;
(E)when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.
(F)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until (G)he pleads my cause
    and executes judgment for me.
(H)He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall look upon his vindication.

    and (E)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
