11 But the Lord(A) is with me like a mighty warrior;
    so my persecutors(B) will stumble and not prevail.(C)
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;(D)
    their dishonor will never be forgotten.
12 Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
    and probe the heart and mind,(E)
let me see your vengeance(F) on them,
    for to you I have committed(G) my cause.

13 Sing(H) to the Lord!
    Give praise to the Lord!
He rescues(I) the life of the needy
    from the hands of the wicked.(J)

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.
