Jeremiah 20:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ But the Lord is with me like a strong warrior,
    so those who are chasing me will trip and fall;
    they will not defeat me.
They will be ashamed because they have failed,
    and their shame will never be forgotten.

¹² Lord All-Powerful, you test good people;
    you look deeply into the heart and mind of a person.
I have told you my arguments against these people,
    so let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.

¹³ Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
He saves the life of the poor
    from the power of the wicked.
