13. For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell.
14. O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15. And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16. Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17. Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
