11 But the Lord is with me like a terrifying warrior;
    therefore my persecutors will stumble,
    and they will not prevail.
They will be greatly shamed,
    for they will not succeed.
Their eternal dishonor
    will never be forgotten.(A)
12 O Lord of hosts, you test the righteous;
    you see the heart and the mind;
let me see your retribution upon them,
    for to you I have committed my cause.(B)

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

11 But the Lord is with me like a fearsome warrior.
    Therefore, those who pursue me will stumble
        and won’t prevail.
They’ll be put to great shame,
    when they don’t succeed.
        Their everlasting disgrace won’t be forgotten.
12 Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    who tests the righteous,
    who sees the inner motives[a] and the heart,
let me see you take vengeance on them,
    for I’ve committed my case to you.
13 Sing to the Lord,
    give praise to the Lord!
For he saves the life of the poor
    from the hand of the wicked.
