7. When I am in distress, I call to you,because you answer me.
8. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;no deeds can compare with yours.

10. For you are great and do marvellous deeds;you alone are God.
11. Teach me your way, Lord,that I may rely on your faithfulness;give me an undivided heart,that I may fear your name.

14. Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;ruthless people are trying to kill me –they have no regard for you.
15. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16. Turn to me and have mercy on me;show your strength on behalf of your servant;save me, because I serve youjust as my mother did.
