12. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,and I will glorify your name forever.
13. For great is your steadfast love toward me;you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14. O God, insolent men have risen up against me;a band of ruthless men seeks my life,and they do not set you before them.
15. But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16. Turn to me and be gracious to me;give your strength to your servant,and save the son of your maidservant.
17. Show me a sign of your favor,that those who hate me may see and be put to shamebecause you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
