Bible verse
Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
Jeremiah 20:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 20.
9 If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
10 For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”
11 But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
12 O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
13 Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
16 May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,
17 because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
