10 (A)For I hear many whispering.
    (B)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! (C)Let us denounce him!”
    say all my (D)close friends,
    (E)watching for (F)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
    then (G)we can overcome him
    and take our revenge on him.”
11 But (H)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
    therefore my persecutors will stumble;
    (I)they will not overcome me.
(J)They will be greatly shamed,
    for they will not succeed.
Their (K)eternal dishonor
    will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
    (L)who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.
