Penitence and Trust in God
8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemies;[a]
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.(A)
9 I must bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
I shall see his vindication.(B)
10 Then my enemies[b] will see,
and shame will cover those[c] who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see their[d] downfall;[e]
now they[f] will be trodden down
like the mire of the streets.(C)

and will be covered with shame,(H)

“Where is the Lord your God?”(I)
My eyes will see her downfall;(J)
even now she will be trampled(K) underfoot
like mire in the streets.
