1 Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
1Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David.
1 OGod, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
2Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
2 OGod, hear my prayer; 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
3Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not setGod before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.
4At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
4 Behold,God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.
5My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
6Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
7And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

11(not in this translation)
11Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,

13(not in this translation)
13For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him.

20(not in this translation)
20God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
