Psalm 86:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ Proud and violent enemies,
    who don't care about you,
have ganged up to attack
    and kill me.
¹⁵ But you, the Lord God,
    are kind and merciful.
You don't easily get angry,
and your love
    can always be trusted.
¹⁶ I serve you, Lord,
and I am the child
    of one of your servants.
Look on me with kindness.
    Make me strong and save me.
