1 Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
1 Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
2Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
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
3For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek 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.
4See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.
5Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
