12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
    (A)who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.

13 (B)Sing to the Lord;
    praise the Lord!
For he has delivered the life of the needy
    from the hand of evildoers.

14 (C)Cursed be the day
    on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
    let it not be blessed!
