Israel’s Confession and Comfort

(A)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
(B)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
(C)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my (D)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.

And (E)shame will cover her who said to me,
(F)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
