1 God, save me by your name,

and vindicate me by your might!  *

2 God, hear my prayer;

listen to the words from my mouth.  *

3 For strangers rise up against me,

and violent men intend to kill me.

They do not let God guide them.  *,*Selah

4 God is my helper;

the Lord is the sustainer of my life.  *,*

5 He will repay my adversaries for their evil.

Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.  *

6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.  *

I will praise your name,  Lord,

because it is good.  *

7 For he has rescued me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked down on my enemies.  *
