Don’t be glad on my account, my enemy.
    When I fall, I’ll get up.
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord is a light for me.
I will endure the Lord’s anger—
    since I have sinned against him—
until he takes over my defense,
    administers justice on my behalf,
and brings me out to the light,
    where I will gaze on his righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will observe it,
    and shame will engulf the ones[a] who asked me,
        ‘Where is the Lord your God?’
My own eyes will see them,[b]
    they[c] will be trampled on like mud in the streets.

Israel Will Rise

Do not gloat over me,(A) my enemy!
    Though I have fallen, I will rise.(B)
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.(C)
Because I have sinned against him,
    I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(D)
until he pleads my case(E)
    and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(F)
    I will see his righteousness.(G)
10 Then my enemy will see it
    and will be covered with shame,(H)
she who said to me,
    “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.
