1 S ave me by Your name, O God. And stand with me by Your power.

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

2 H ear my prayer, O God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 F or strangers have risen against me. And men who hurt others want to take my life. They do not think about God.

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

4 S ee, God is my Helper. The Lord is the One Who keeps my soul alive.

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

6 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.

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

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

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