8. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness,the Lord will be a light to me.
9. I will bear the indignation of the Lordbecause I have sinned against him,until he pleads my causeand executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light;I shall 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 down like the mire of the streets.
11. A day for the building of your walls!In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
12. In that day they will come to you, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,and from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
13. But the earth will be desolatebecause of its inhabitants,for the fruit of their deeds.
14. Shepherd your people with your staff,the flock of your inheritance,who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land;let them graze in Bashan and Gileadas in the days of old.
15. As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,I will show them marvelous things.
16. The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hands on their mouths;their ears shall be deaf;
17. they shall lick the dust like a serpent,like the crawling things of the earth; they shall come trembling out of their strongholds; they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,and they shall be in fear of you.
