10 For (A)I have heard the whispering of many,
(B)Terror on every side!
(C)Denounce him; let’s denounce him!”
[a]All my (D)trusted friends,
Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be persuaded, so that we may (E)prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
11 But the (F)Lord is with me like a powerful champion;
Therefore my (G)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be put to great shame because they have [b]failed,
An (H)everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, Lord of armies, who (I)tests the righteous,
Who sees the [c]mind and the heart;
Let me (J)see Your vengeance on them,
For (K)to You I have disclosed my cause.
