1 O save me by Thy Name
and judge me in Thy might;
O God, now grant my urgent claim,
acceptance in Thy sight.

2 Strong foes against me rise,
oppressors seek my soul,

to Thee I freely bring;
my thanks, O LORD, to Thee I raise
and of Thy goodness sing.

5 From troubles and from woes
Thou hast delivered me,
the overthrow of all my foes
hast given me to see.
