^1-2 God, for your sake, help me! Use your influence to clear me.
   Listen, God—I'm desperate.
      Don't be too busy to hear me.

 ³ Outlaws are out to get me,
      hit men are trying to kill me.
   Nothing will stop them;
      God means nothing to them.

 ^4-5 Oh, look! God's right here helping!
      God's on my side,
   Evil is looping back on my enemies.
      Don't let up! Finish them off!

 ^6-7 I'm ready now to worship, so ready.
      I thank you, God—you're so good.
   You got me out of every scrape,
      and I saw my enemies get it.
