1O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
2O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
5He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
