General Information:

In verse 8 Micah begins speaking as if he were one woman speaking to her enemy, another woman. This is perhaps the daughter of Zion (Micah 1:13), who represents the people of Israel, speaking to the "daughter of soldiers" (Micah 5:1), who represents the nations which attacked Israel. All commands and instances of "you" are feminine singular. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you)

But as for me

Here "me" refers to Micah.

I will wait for the God of my salvation

The abstract noun "salvation" can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "I will wait for the God who saves me" or "I will wait for God, who saves me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns)

will hear me

The word "hear" represents hearing and acting. Alternate translation: "will act to help me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
