14Haughty men have risen up against me, O God, a band of the violent seeking my life, who think nothing of you.
15But you are a God of pity and grace, patient and rich in kindness and faithfulness; turn to me with your grace, O Lord.
16Grant your strength to your servant, and save the child of your handmaid.
17Show me a sign of your favour, which those who hate me may see with confusion, since you, Lord, are my helper and comforter.
