1. Save me by your power, O God;set me free by your might!
2. Hear my prayer, O God;listen to my words!
3. Proud men are coming to attack me;cruel men are trying to kill me —men who do not care about God.
4. But God is my helper.The Lord is my defender.
5. May God use their own evil to punish my enemies.He will destroy them because he is faithful.
6. I will gladly offer you a sacrifice, O Lord;I will give you thanksbecause you are good.
7. You have rescued me from all my troubles,and I have seen my enemies defeated.
