14 O God, insolent men have risen against me,and bands of violent men have sought my life;they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious,slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;give Your strength to Your servant,and save the humble son of Your female servant.
17 Show me a sign of Your favor,that those who hate me may see it and be ashamedbecause You, Lord, have helped and comforted me.
