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

12 Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts], you test ·good [righteous] people;
    you look deeply into the ·heart [L kidneys] and ·mind [L heart] of a person.
I have ·told [committed/revealed to] you my ·arguments [case] against these people,
    so let me see ·you give them the punishment they deserve [your vengeance against them].

13 Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
He ·saves [protects; rescues] the life of the ·poor [needy]
    from the ·power [hand] of the wicked.
