Micah 7:7-10

English Standard Version

⁷But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
^(A)I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.

⁸^(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.
⁹^(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.
¹⁰Then ^(I)my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who ^(J)said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
^(K)My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled down
    ^(L)like the mire of the streets.

English Standard Version

God's Steadfast Love and Compassion

¹⁸^(A)Who is a God like you, ^(B)pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    ^(C)for the remnant of his inheritance?
^(D)He does not retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹He will ^(E)again have compassion on us;
    ^(F)he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
^(G)You will cast all our^[a] sins
    into the depths of the sea.
²⁰^(H)You will show faithfulness to Jacob
    and steadfast love to Abraham,
^(I)as you have sworn to our fathers
    from the days of old.
