(A)Do not rejoice over me, (B)enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will (C)rise;
Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a (D)light for me.

I will endure the rage of the Lord
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He (E)pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the (F)light,
And I will look at His [a](G)righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who (H)said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look at her;
[b]At that time she will [c]be (I)trampled down
Like mud of the streets.
11 It will be a day for (J)building your walls.
On that day your boundary will be extended.
12 It will be a day when [d]they will (K)come to you
From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
From Egypt even to the Euphrates River,
Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
13 And the earth will become a (L)wasteland because of her inhabitants,
On account of the (M)fruit of their deeds.

Don’t be glad on my account, my enemy.
    When I fall, I’ll get up.
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord is a light for me.
I will endure the Lord’s anger—
    since I have sinned against him—
until he takes over my defense,
    administers justice on my behalf,
and brings me out to the light,
    where I will gaze on his righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will observe it,
    and shame will engulf the ones[a] who asked me,
        ‘Where is the Lord your God?’
My own eyes will see them,[b]
    they[c] will be trampled on like mud in the streets.

A Word of Restoration

11 When the time comes[d] for rebuilding your walls,
    that time[e] will surely be extended.[f]
12 At that time[g] armies[h] will invade you from Assyria,
    from Egyptian cities to the Euphrates[i] River,
from sea to sea
    and from mountain to mountain.
13 The land will become desolate
    because of its inhabitants,
        and as a result of their behavior.
