New Living Translation NLT
1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
1
Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
2
Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.
3
For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude
4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
4
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
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 sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, 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 You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
7
For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
