14. O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16. O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17. Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
