O God, save me by Your Name, vindicate me by Your might.
God, the proud have risen up against me and a gang of ruthless people have sought my life, and have not set You before them.
For the music director, of David the servant of Adonai.
They will do these things because they have never known the Father or Me.
All have turned aside— together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good— no, not even one!
Adonai, please deliver me! Adonai, come quickly to help me!
My strength is dried up like a clay pot, my tongue clings to my jaws. You lay me in the dust of death.
I have set Adonai always before me. Since He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
For I have endured scorn for Your sake. Disgrace has covered my face.
May Adonai answer you in the day of trouble! May the Name of the God of Jacob set you up securely on high.
Vindicate me, O God, and champion my cause against an ungodly nation. From a deceitful and unjust man, deliver me!
