Trusting God in Times of Trouble
ave me, God, by your power and prove that I am right.
2Listen to my prayer and hear what I say.
3Cruel strangers have attacked and want me dead.
Not one of them cares about you.
4You will help me, Lord God, and keep me from falling;
5you will punish my enemies for their evil deeds.
Be my faithful friend and destroy them.
6I will bring a gift and offer a sacrifice to you, Lord.
I will praise your name because you are good.
7You have rescued me from all my troubles,
and my own eyes have seen my enemies fall.
