Psalms 71:9-13

Context

71:9 Do not reject me in my old age! 1 

When my strength fails, do not abandon me!

71:10 For my enemies talk about me;

those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise. 2 

71:11 They say, 3  “God has abandoned him.

Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”

71:12 O God, do not remain far away from me!

My God, hurry and help me! 4 

71:13 May my accusers be humiliated and defeated!

May those who want to harm me 5  be covered with scorn and disgrace!

Psalms 109:29

Context

109:29 My accusers will be covered 6  with shame,

and draped in humiliation as if it were a robe.

Micah 7:8-10

Context
Jerusalem Will Be Vindicated

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

Though I have fallen, I will get up.

Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. 9 

7:9 I must endure 10  the Lord’s anger,

for I have sinned against him.

But then 11  he will defend my cause, 12 

and accomplish justice on my behalf.

He will lead me out into the light;

I will experience firsthand 13  his deliverance. 14 

7:10 When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.

They say 15  to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”

I will gloat over them. 16 

Then they will be trampled down 17 

like mud in the streets.
