(C)when I fall, I shall rise;

the Lord will be a light to me.
9 (E)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until (F)he pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
(G)He will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication.
10 Then (H)my enemy will see,
and shame will cover her who (I)said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
(J)My eyes will look upon her;
now she will be trampled down
(K)like the mire of the streets.
