12. I will give thanks to you with all my heart, O Lord my God.I will honor you forever
13. because your mercy toward me is great.You have rescued me from the depths of hell.
14. O God, arrogant people attack me,and a mob of ruthless people seeks my life.They think nothing of you.
15. But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God.You are patient, always faithful and ready to forgive.
16. Turn toward me, and have pity on me.Give me your strength because I am your servant.Save me because I am the son of your female servant.
17. Grant me some proof of your goodnessso that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame.You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
