1 Save me, O | God, • for thy | Name’s sake, ||

and a- | venge me | in thy | strength. ||

2 Hear my | prayer, O | God, ||

and | hearken • unto the | 3 words of • my | mouth. ||

3 For strangers are risen | up a- | gainst me; ||

and tyrants, which have not God before their | eyes, seek | 3 after my | soul. ||

4 Behold, | God • is my | helper; ||

the Lord is with | them • that up- | hold my | soul. ||

5 He shall reward | evil • unto mine | ene•mies: ||

de- | stroy thou | 3 them in • thy | truth. ||

6 An offering of a free | heart • will I | give thee, ||

and praise thy Name, O | Lord; be- | cause it • is so | comfort•able. ||

7 For he hath delivered me out of | all my | trouble; ||

and mine eye hath seen his de- | sire up- | on mine | ene•mies. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
