Hear my prayer, O God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 F or strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

See, God is my Helper. The Lord is the One Who keeps my soul alive.

5 H e shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

He will punish those who hate me, for the wrong they have done. He will destroy them because He is faithful.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

I will be glad to give You a gift on the altar. I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

7 F or he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

For He has taken me out of all trouble. And my eyes have looked without fear upon those who hate me.
