Jeremiah 20:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ But you, Lord, are on my side, strong and mighty,
    and those who persecute me will fail.
They will be disgraced forever,
    because they cannot succeed.
Their disgrace will never be forgotten.
¹² But, Almighty Lord, you test people justly;
    you know what is in their hearts and minds.
So let me see you take revenge on my enemies,
    for I have placed my cause in your hands.
¹³ Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
He rescues the oppressed from the power of evil people.
