15. But you, the Lord God,are kind and merciful.You don't easily get angry,and your lovecan always be trusted.
16. I serve you, Lord,and I am the childof one of your servants.Look on me with kindness.Make me strong and save me.
17. Show that you approve of me!Then my hateful enemieswill feel like fools,because you have helpedand comforted me.
