11 But the Lord is with me like a violent warrior.(A)
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,
an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.
12 Lord of Hosts, testing the righteous
and seeing the heart[a] and mind,
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to You.(B)
13 Sing to the Lord!
Praise the Lord,
for He rescues the life of the needy
from the hand of evil people.

  1. Jeremiah 20:12 Lit kidneys

11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior.
    Therefore[a] my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail.
They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success.
    Their everlasting insult[b] will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous,
    who sees the heart[c] and the mind,[d]
let me see your retribution upon them,
    for to you I have revealed my legal case.
13 Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh,
    for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
