12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 13For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them. 15But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth. 16Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
