1 Save me, O God, by thy name,

And judge me by thy strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me,

And oppressors seek after my soul:

They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is mine helper:

The Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:

Cut them off in thy truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:

I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:

And mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
