Jeremiah 15:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn for ever.
15 O Lord, you know;
remember me and visit me,
and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance do not take me away;
know that on your account I suffer insult.
16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart;
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:14-16

Avenge me on my persecutors.(C)

they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(G)
