Micah 7:8-10
Good News Translation
The Lord Brings Salvation
8 Our enemies have no reason to gloat over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We are in darkness now, but the Lord will give us light. 9 We have sinned against the Lord, so now we must endure his anger for a while. But in the end he will defend us and right the wrongs that have been done to us. He will bring us out to the light; we will live to see him save us. 10 Then our enemies will see this and be disgraced—the same enemies who taunted us by asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” We will see them defeated, trampled[a] down like mud in the streets.

Micah 7:8-10
New International Version
Israel Will Rise
8 Do 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)
9 Because 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)
10 Then 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.
