Penitence and Trust in God

Do not rejoice over me, my enemies;[a]
    when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.(A)
I must bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until he takes my side
    and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall see his vindication.(B)
10 Then my enemies[b] will see,
    and shame will cover those[c] who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see their[d] downfall;[e]
    now they[f] will be trodden down
    like the mire of the streets.(C)
