Psalm 86:14–17

14 God, arrogant people have attacked me;

a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me.

They do not let you guide them.A,l

15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.m

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me.

Give your strength to your servant;

save the son of your female servant.n

17 Show me a sign of your goodness;

my enemies will see and be put to shame

because you, Lord, have helped and comforted me.o
