              1 God! Save me by your name; defend me by your might!
            
            
                1
Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.            
            
              2 God! Hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth!
            
            
                2
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.            
            
              3 The proud have come up against me; violent people want me dead. They pay no attention to God.     Selah
            
            
                3
Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.            
            
              4 But look here: God is my helper; my Lord sustains my life.
            
            
                4
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.            
            
              5 He will bring disaster on my opponents. By your faithfulness, God, destroy them!
            
            
                5
Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.            
            
              6 I will sacrifice to you freely; I will give thanks to your name, LORD, because it's so good,
            
            
                6
I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.            
            
              7 and because God has delivered me from every distress. My eyes have seen my enemies' defeat.
            
            
                7
You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
