12I will give thanks to You, Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forever. 13For Your graciousness toward me is great, And You have saved my soul from the depths of Sheol. God, arrogant men have risen up against me, And a gang of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them. 15But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, Slow to anger and abundant in mercy and truth. 16Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Grant Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant.
