Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 Otherwise my enemy will say, "I have won!" Those against me will rejoice that I've been defeated.

and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
