9I will bear the indignation of the LORD
         Because I have sinned against Him,
         Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
         He will bring me out to the light,
         And I will see His righteousness.

10Then my enemy will see,
         And shame will cover her who said to me,
         “Where is the LORD your God?”
         My eyes will look on her;
         At that time she will be trampled down
         Like mire of the streets.

11It will be a day for building your walls.
         On that day will your boundary be extended.

12It will be a day when they will come to you
         From Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
         From Egypt even to the Euphrates,
         Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

13And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants,
         On account of the fruit of their deeds.

14Shepherd Your people with Your scepter,
         The flock of Your possession
         Which dwells by itself in the woodland,
         In the midst of a fruitful field.
         Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
         As in the days of old.

15“As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt,
         I will show you miracles.”

16Nations will see and be ashamed
         Of all their might.
         They will put their hand on their mouth,
         Their ears will be deaf.

17They will lick the dust like a serpent,
         Like reptiles of the earth.
         They will come trembling out of their fortresses;
         To the LORD our God they will come in dread
         And they will be afraid before You.

18Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity
         And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?
         He does not retain His anger forever,
         Because He delights in unchanging love.

19He will again have compassion on us;
         He will tread our iniquities under foot.
         Yes, You will cast all their sins
         Into the depths of the sea.

20You will give truth to Jacob
         And unchanging love to Abraham,
         Which You swore to our forefathers
         From the days of old.
