11 But the Lord is with me like a violent warrior.(A)
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,
an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.(B)
12 Lord of Armies, testing the righteous
and seeing the heart[a] and mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to you.(C)
13 Sing to the Lord!
Praise the Lord,
for he rescues the life of the needy
from evil people.

11 But the (A)Lord is with me like a powerful champion;
Therefore my (B)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be put to great shame because they have [a]failed,
An (C)everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, Lord of armies, who (D)tests the righteous,
Who sees the [b]mind and the heart;
Let me (E)see Your vengeance on them,
For (F)to You I have disclosed my cause.
13 (G)Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord!
For He has (H)saved the soul of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.
