1Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah
4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
