1 Save me, O God, by your name;
       vindicate me by your might.

 2 Hear my prayer, O God;
       listen to the words of my mouth.

 3 Strangers are attacking me;
       ruthless men seek my life—
       men without regard for God.
       Selah

 4 Surely God is my help;
       the Lord is the one who sustains me.

 5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
       in your faithfulness destroy them.

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

 7 For he has delivered me from all my troubles,
       and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
