7Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8¶ Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. 9I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. 10Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.7.10 Then…: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame7.10 shall she…: Heb. she shall be for a treading down 11In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. 12In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.7.12 and from the fortified cities: or, even to the fortified cities 13Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.7.13 Notwithstanding: or, After that it hath been
