All the nations you have made
    will come(A) and worship(B) before you, Lord;

give me an undivided(I) heart,
    that I may fear(J) your name.

13 For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me(L) from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.(M)

14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
    ruthless people are trying to kill me—
    they have no regard for you.(N)

    slow to anger,(P) abounding(Q) in love and faithfulness.(R)
16 Turn to me(S) and have mercy(T) on me;
    show your strength(U) in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.(V)
17 Give me a sign(W) of your goodness,
    that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
    for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

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

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
