Micah 7:9

I will bear the indignation of the Lord, with the humble submission which characterizes the repentant heart, because I have sinned against Him, such a free and unequivocal confession being essential if the sorrow is genuine, until He plead my cause, taking the part of His people against the enemies, and execute judgment for me, maintaining and establishing His Church in spite of all hostility; He will bring me forth to the light, namely, out of the darkness of captivity and oppression, and I shall behold His righteousness, for the deliverance of His people was in agreement with the Lord's ancient promises.
