Jeremiah 20:11-13
New King James Version
11 But the Lord is (A)with me as a mighty, awesome One.
Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not (B)prevail.
They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their (C)everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.
12 But, O Lord of hosts,
You who (D)test the righteous,
And see the [a]mind and heart,
(E)Let me see Your vengeance on them;
For I have pleaded my cause before You.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
For (F)He has delivered the life of the poor
From the hand of evildoers.

American Standard Version
11 But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not [a]dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten. 12 But, O Jehovah of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the [b]heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause. 13 Sing unto Jehovah, praise ye Jehovah; for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
