Micah 7:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
    I wait confidently for God to save me,
    and my God will certainly hear me.
⁸ Do not gloat over me, my enemies!
    For though I fall, I will rise again.
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.
⁹ I will be patient as the Lord punishes me,
    for I have sinned against him.
But after that, he will take up my case
    and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies.
The Lord will bring me into the light,
    and I will see his righteousness.
