Jeremiah 20:13

Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he rescues the oppressed from the clutches of evildoers. ¹ 

Ps 34:6; Ps 35:9-11; Ps 69:33; Ps 72:4; Ps 109:30,31; Isa 25:4; Jas 2:5,6

¹ sn While it may be a little confusing to modern readers to see the fluctuation in moods and the shifts in addressee in a prayer and complaint like this, it was not at all unusual for Israel where these were often offered in the temple in the conscious presence of God before fellow worshipers. For another example of these same shifts see Ps 22 which is a prayer of David in a time of deep distress.
