14But God, proud men are trying to attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any ◄respect for/interest in► you.
15But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
16Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you faithfully like my mother did.
17Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
