15
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16
Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant; save the child of your serving girl.
17
Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
