Context of Psalms 86:13
11Teach me Your way, Adonai, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart to fear Your Name. 12I praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and glorify Your Name forever. For great is Your lovingkindness toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest part of Sheol. 14God, the proud have risen up against me and a gang of ruthless people have sought my life, and have not set You before them. 15But You, my Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, full of love and truth.
