1. Save, O God, by your great name, vindicate me, blot out blame
Save, O God, by your great name, vindicate me, blot out blame. Lord, my earnest praying hear, to my pleading words give ear.
[Sing to the Lord 54]

2. from their violence set me free.
2. Strangers are attacking me;
from their violence set me free.
From their life the Lord they’ve banned,
but to me God is at hand.

3. evil deeds back on them roll; ’gainst my foes the Lord defends,
3. God, the Lord, sustains my soul;
evil deeds back on them roll;
’gainst my foes the Lord defends,
and my praise to him ascends.

4. it is good beyond all blame. God delivered me from grief;
4. I give thanks unto your name;
it is good beyond all blame.
God delivered me from grief;
I now celebrate relief!
