2 (53-4) O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
3 (53-5) For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

4 (53-6) For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
4
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
5 (53-7) Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and 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 (53-8) I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because 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.
