15. But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and faithfulness.
16. Turn to me and be gracious to me. Give your strength to your servant, and grant victory to the son of your maidservant.
17. Do a sign that benefits me, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame, because you, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
