³ For strangers are attacking me;
    violent people are trying to kill me.
    They care nothing for God. Interlude

⁴ But God is my helper.
    The Lord keeps me alive!

⁵ May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.
    Do as you promised and put an end to them.

⁶ I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;
    I will praise your name, O Lord,
    for it is good.
⁷ For you have rescued me from my troubles
    and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
