10 For I have heard the defaming of many,
    “Terror on every side!
    Denounce, and we will denounce him!”
say all my familiar friends,
    those who watch for my fall.
“Perhaps he will be persuaded,
    and we will prevail against him,
    and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one.
    Therefore my persecutors will stumble,
    and they won’t prevail.
They will be utterly disappointed,
    because they have not dealt wisely,
    even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous,
    who sees the heart and the mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
    for I have revealed my cause to you.

    and probe the heart and mind,(K)
let me see your vengeance(L) on them,
    for to you I have committed(M) my cause.
