1 Save me, O God, by your name;

vindicate me by your might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Arrogant foes are attacking me;

ruthless people are trying to kill me—

people without regard for God.

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.

1 Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!

Defend me with your might.

2 Listen to my prayer, O God.

Pay attention to my plea.

3 For strangers are attacking me;

violent people are trying to kill me.

They care nothing for God.
