Context of Psalms 86:13
11Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. 12I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead. 14Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you. 15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
