8. Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!though I have fallen, I will arise;though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9. I will endure the wrath of the Lordbecause I have sinned against him,Until he pleads my case,and establishes my right.He will bring me forth to the light;I will see his righteousness.
10. When my enemy sees this,shame shall cover her:She who said to me,“Where is the Lord, your God?”My eyes shall see her downfall;now she will be trampled underfoot,like mud in the streets.
11. It is the day for building your walls;on that day your boundaries shall be enlarged.
12. It is the day when those from Assyria to Egyptshall come to you,And from Tyre even to the River,from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain;
13. And the earth shall be a wastebecause of its inhabitants,as a result of their deeds.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff,the flock of your heritage,That lives apart in a woodland,in the midst of an orchard.Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,as in the days of old;
15. As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt,show us wonderful signs.
16. The nations will see and will be put to shame,in spite of all their strength;They will put their hands over their mouths;their ears will become deaf.
17. They will lick the dust like a snake,like crawling things on the ground;They will come quaking from their strongholds;they will tremble in fear of you, the Lord, our God.
18. Who is a God like you, who removes guiltand pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance;Who does not persist in anger forever,but instead delights in mercy,
19. And will again have compassion on us,treading underfoot our iniquities?You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
