God, save me by your Name, * and by your might defend me.

    God, hear my prayer; * listen to the words of my mouth,

        because foreigners have risen against me, * and ruffians seek my life, * unaware that God is my Leader.

           See how God became my helper, * the Lord the Sustainer of my life!

        He turned back evil on my defamers, * in his fidelity he wiped them out.

    For your honor I will sacrifice to you, Yahweh, * I will praise your Name, so excellent.

From all my adversaries It rescued me, * and my eye saw my enemies' defeat.
