10 aFor I heard many1 mocking:
“Fear on every side!”
“Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
bAll my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,
“Perhaps he can be induced;
Then we will prevail against him,
And we will take our revenge on him.”

11 But the Lord is awith me as a mighty, awesome One.
Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not bprevail.
They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their ceverlasting confusion will never be forgotten.

12 But, O Lord of hosts,
You who atest the righteous,
And see the1 mind and heart,
bLet me see Your vengeance on them;
For I have pleaded my cause before You.

13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
For aHe has delivered the life of the poor
From the hand of evildoers.
