ע (Ayin)
2:17 The Lord has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled 1 his promise 2
that he threatened 3 long ago: 4
He has overthrown you without mercy 5
and has enabled the enemy to gloat over you;
he has exalted your adversaries’ power. 6
פ (Pe)
3:46 All our enemies have gloated over us; 7
80:6 You have made our neighbors dislike us, 9
and our enemies insult us.
89:42 You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, 10
and all his enemies to rejoice.
63:18 For a short time your special 11 nation possessed a land, 12
but then our adversaries knocked down 13 your holy sanctuary.
12:7 “I will abandon my nation. 14
I will forsake the people I call my own. 15
I will turn my beloved people 16
over to the power 17 of their enemies.
7:8 My enemies, 18 do not gloat 19 over me!
Though I have fallen, I will get up.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. 20
7:9 I must endure 21 the Lord’s anger,
for I have sinned against him.
But then 22 he will defend my cause, 23
and accomplish justice on my behalf.
He will lead me out into the light;
I will experience firsthand 24 his deliverance. 25
7:10 When my enemies see this, they will be covered with shame.
They say 26 to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I will gloat over them. 27
Then they will be trampled down 28
like mud in the streets.
