The Message Bible MSG
1 Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with your might.
1
God, for your sake, help me! Use your influence to clear me.
2 Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
2
Listen, God - I'm desperate. Don't be too busy to hear me.
3 For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude
3
Outlaws are out to get me, hit men are trying to kill me. Nothing will stop them; God means nothing to them.
4 But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
4
Oh, look! God's right here helping! God's on my side,
5 May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.
5
Evil is looping back on my enemies. Don't let up! Finish them off!
6 I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
6
I'm ready now to worship, so ready. I thank you, God - you're so good.
7 For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
7
You got me out of every scrape, and I saw my enemies get it.
