① 1* 2* 3By your name, O God, save me; you, the Valiant, uphold my cause.
4Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
5Strangers are against me – the ruthless seek my life; they have no regard for God.
6See, God is my helper; the Lord upholds my life.
7May their evil plots rebound on them; in your faithfulness destroy them!
8Freely will I offer sacrifice to you and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.
9You have delivered me from calamity, and I look down on my foes.
- In verse 1, we see that the name of God and his strong intervention are almost identical (see Mk 16:17; Acts 3:6; Phil 2:9). If we place our trust in the name of Jesus, our prayer will not be in vain.
