1 Save me, O God, by Your name;

And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen against me

And violent men have sought my life;

They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper and ally;

The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].

5 He will pay back the evil to my enemies;

In Your faithfulness destroy them.

6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;

I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

7 For He has rescued me from every trouble,

And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.
