1 By your name, O God, now save me;
grant me justice by your might.
2 As I pray to you, now hear me;
keep me safe within your sight.
3 Strangers have come up against me,
violent in deed and word.
They are seeking to destroy me;
they do not regard the LORD.
4 Surely God is my upholder;
with his help I will not fall.
5 God will pay back those who slander;
in your truth destroy them all!
6 I will sacrifice with gladness;
I will praise your name, O LORD.
7 God has saved me from all sadness,
and my life he has restored.
