11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one.
    Therefore my persecutors will stumble,
    and they won’t prevail.
They will be utterly disappointed,
    because they have not dealt wisely,
    even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous,
    who sees the heart and the mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
    for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Sing to Yahweh!
    Praise Yahweh,
    for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

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.
