Context of Psalms 86:13

11Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name. 12I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever. For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol. 14The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life; they have no regard for You. 15But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
