12 Lord of Hosts, 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.(A)
13 Sing to the Lord!
Praise the Lord,
for He rescues the life of the needy
from the hand of evil people.

Jeremiah’s Lament

14 May the day I was born
be cursed.(B)
May the day my mother bore me
never be blessed.
