Because I have sinned against him,
    I will bear the Lord’s wrath,(A)
until he pleads my case(B)
    and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;(C)
    I will see his righteousness.(D)
10 Then my enemy will see it
    and will be covered with shame,(E)
she who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”(F)
My eyes will see her downfall;(G)
    even now she will be trampled(H) underfoot
    like mire in the streets.

    the day for extending your boundaries.
