God, save me by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might! | 1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. |

| 4God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life. | 4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. |
| 5He will repay my adversaries for their evil. Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them. | 5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. |
| 6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Yahweh, because it is good. | 6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. |
| 7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked down on my enemies. | 7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. |
