11 But (A)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
    therefore my persecutors will stumble;
    (B)they will not overcome me.
(C)They will be greatly shamed,
    for they will not succeed.
Their (D)eternal dishonor
    will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
    (E)who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.

13 (F)Sing to the Lord;
    praise the Lord!
For he has delivered the life of the needy
    from the hand of evildoers.

11 But the (A)Lord is with me like a powerful champion;
Therefore my (B)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be put to great shame because they have [a]failed,
An (C)everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, Lord of armies, who (D)tests the righteous,
Who sees the [b]mind and the heart;
Let me (E)see Your vengeance on them,
For (F)to You I have disclosed my cause.
13 (G)Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord!
For He has (H)saved the soul of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.
