Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

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

For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

He will reward my enemies with evil.In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

Freely I will sacrifice to You;I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
