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.
10 Then she who is my enemy will see,
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.

A Psalm of David.

27 The Lord is my (A)light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?

To (C)eat[a] up my flesh,

My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
