Some Hebrew manuscripts and Targum insolent men (compare Psalm 86:14)
have risen against me;ruthless men i seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4 Behold, j God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5 He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your k faithfulness l put an end to them.
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, m for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has n looked in triumph on my enemies.
