⁵ You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
    abounding in love^(F) to all who call to you.
⁶ Hear my prayer, Lord;
    listen to my cry^(G) for mercy.
⁷ When I am in distress,^(H) I call^(I) to you,
    because you answer^(J) me.

⁸ Among the gods^(K) there is none like you,^(L) Lord;
    no deeds can compare with yours.
⁹ All the nations you have made
    will come^(M) and worship^(N) before you, Lord;
    they will bring glory^(O) to your name.
¹⁰ For you are great^(P) and do marvelous deeds;^(Q)
    you alone^(R) are God.

¹¹ Teach me your way,^(S) Lord,
    that I may rely on your faithfulness;^(T)
give me an undivided^(U) heart,
    that I may fear^(V) your name.
¹² I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;^(W)
    I will glorify your name forever.
¹³ For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me^(X) from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.^(Y)

¹⁴ Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
    ruthless people are trying to kill me—
    they have no regard for you.^(Z)
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious^(AA) God,
    slow to anger,^(AB) abounding^(AC) in love and faithfulness.^(AD)
16 Turn to me^(AE) and have mercy^(AF) on me;
    show your strength^(AG) in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.^(AH)
17 Give me a sign^(AI) of your goodness,
    that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
    for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

²¹ Then all your people will be righteous^(A)
    and they will possess^(B) the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,^(C)
    the work of my hands,^(D)
    for the display of my splendor.^(E)
