God will bring me out of my darkness into the light, and I will see his goodness. 10 Then my enemy will see that God is for me and be ashamed for taunting, “Where is that God of yours?” Now with my own eyes I see them trampled down like mud in the street.

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)

    like mire in the streets.

    the day for extending your boundaries.
