Micah 7:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ But I trust the Lord God
    to save me,
and I will wait for him
    to answer my prayer.

⁸ My enemies, don't be glad
    because of my troubles!
I may have fallen,
    but I will get up;
I may be sitting in the dark,
    but the Lord is my light.
⁹ I have sinned against the Lord.
And so I must endure his anger,
    until he comes to my defense.
But I know that I will see him
making things right for me
    and leading me to the light.
