1. Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
2. Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3. Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.
4. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5. Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
