Listen (KJV)

1Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

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

3For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. [Selah

4Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
