“Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.”
Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, 'Where is the LORD your God?' My eyes will see her downfall; now she will be trampled down like the mire of the streets—the vindication of the righteous will be accompanied by the shaming and downfall of the enemies who mocked God's power and the faithfulness of God's people. The mockery 'Where is the LORD your God?' expresses the enemy's doubt that God will deliver, and the promise that they will see God's vindication answers this mockery definitively. The image of trampling in mire shows the complete humiliation and debasement of the enemy. The promise that 'my eyes will see her downfall' shows that the righteous will witness the vindication personally. This verse assures the faithful that their trust in God will be vindicated publicly and that mockers will face shame.
