Micah 7:8-9

Context
Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated

7:8 My enemies, 1  do not gloat 2  over me!

Though I have fallen, I will get up.

Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. 3 

7:9 I must endure 4  the Lord’s anger,

for I have sinned against him.

But then 5  he will defend my cause, 6 

and accomplish justice on my behalf.

He will lead me out into the light;

I will experience firsthand 7  his deliverance. 8
