11. But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior;so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;their dishonour will never be forgotten.
12. Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteousand probe the heart and mind,let me see your vengeance on them,for to you I have committed my cause.
13. Sing to the Lord!Give praise to the Lord!He rescues the life of the needyfrom the hands of the wicked.
14. Cursed be the day I was born!May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15. Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,who made him very glad, saying,‘A child is born to you – a son!’
16. May that man be like the townsthe Lord overthrew without pity.May he hear wailing in the morning,a battle cry at noon.
