The Penitence of Israel

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy!
    Although I have fallen, I will rise;
although I dwell in darkness,
    the Lord is my light.
I will endure the rage of the Lord,
    because I have sinned against Him,
until the time when He pleads my case
    and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out into the light;
    I will look upon His vindication.
10 Then my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her
who said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled
    like muck in the streets.

    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.
