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

2 OGod, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not setGod before them. Selah.

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

3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

6With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for <FI>it is<Fi> good,

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

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