God’s People Will Rise Again

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy.
    When I fall, I will rise.
    When I sit in the darkness, the Lord will be a light for me.
Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the Lord’s wrath,
    until he pleads my case and obtains a favorable verdict for me.
    He will bring me to the light.
    I will see his righteousness.

10 Then my enemy will see this and will be covered with shame,
    she who said to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
    My eyes will see her as she is being trampled like mud in the streets.
11 It will be a day to rebuild city walls.
    On that day your boundary will be extended.
12 On that day people will come to you
        from the lands of Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
        from Egypt even to the River Euphrates,
        from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13 The land will be laid waste because of its inhabitants,
    as a result of the fruit of their deeds.
