King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
1
Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
2
Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
3
For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude
4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
4
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
5
May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
6
I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
7
For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
