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.

Lexham English Bible
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.
