Though I have fallen, I will get up.

Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

for I have sinned against him.

But then he will defend my cause,

and accomplish justice on my behalf.

He will lead me out into the light;

I will experience firsthand his deliverance.

and the grapes have been harvested.

There is no grape cluster to eat,

no fresh figs that I crave so much.
