10. I hear many whispering—"Panic Lurks Everywhere!—proclaim, yes, let’s proclaim it ourselves!"All my friends are waiting for me to stumble:"Perhaps he can be enticed.Then we’ll prevail against himand get our revenge on him!"
11. But the Lord is with me like a strong defender.Therefore, my oppressorswill stumble and not prevail.They will be disgraced by their own failures.Their dishonor will never be forgotten.
12. The Lord of heavenly forces tests the righteousand discerns the heart and the mind.Let me see your retribution upon them,for I have committed my case to you.
13. Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord, for he has rescued the needyfrom the clutches of evildoers.
14. Cursed be the day that I was born.May the day my mother gave birth to me not be blessed.
15. Cursed be the onewho delivered the news to my father,"You have a son!"—filling him with joy.
