¹God, save me by your power.

Set me free by your might.

²God, hear my prayer.

Listen to what I’m saying.

³Strangers are attacking me.

Mean people are trying to kill me.

They don’t care about God. Selah

⁴But I know that God helps me.

The Lord is the one who keeps me going.

⁵My enemies tell lies about me.

Do to them the evil things they planned against me.

God, be faithful and destroy them.

⁶I will sacrifice an offering to you

just because I choose to.

Lord, I will praise your name

because it is good.

⁷You have saved me from all of my troubles.

With my own eyes I have seen you win the battle over my enemies.
