6Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.
7In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.

8There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.

9All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name.

14O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them.

16Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.
17Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
17Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
