Micah 7:9

Micah 7:9

7 Therefore I will look to the Lord;
I will ^await for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me.

Israel’s Confession and Comfort

8 ^aDo not rejoice over me, my enemy;
^bWhen I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.

9 ^aI will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^bcase
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.

10 Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^ashame will cover her who said to me,
^b“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.

11 In the day when your ^awalls are to be built,
In that day¹ the decree shall go far and wide.

12 In that day ^athey shall come to you
From Assyria and the¹ fortified cities,
From the¹ fortress to the River,
From sea to sea,
And mountain to mountain.

<< Micah 7:8

Micah 7:10 >>

I will bear the indignation of the Lord - The words of the penitent captives, acknowledging their sins and praying for mercy.

Until he plead my cause - And wo to the slanderers, when God undertakes to plead for the fallen who have returned to him with deep compunction of heart, seeking redemption in the blood of the cross.
