Micah 7:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

⁸Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light to me.

⁹The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.

¹⁰And see doth mine enemy, And cover her doth shame, Who saith unto me, `Where [is] Jehovah thy God?' Mine eyes do look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.

Israel Will Rise

⁸Do not gloat over me,^(A) my enemy!
    Though I have fallen, I will rise.^(B)
Though I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be my light.^(C)
⁹Because I have sinned against him,
    I will bear the Lord’s wrath,^(D)
until he pleads my case^(E)
    and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out into the light;^(F)
    I will see his righteousness.^(G)
¹⁰Then 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.

New King James Version

Israel’s Confession and Comfort

⁸^(A)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
^(B)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
⁹^(C)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^(D)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
¹⁰Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^(E)shame will cover her who said to me,
^(F)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
