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.

Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.

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.

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.

I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.

For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
