4

t for you answer me.
8
There is u none like you among the gods, O Lord,
v nor are there any works like yours.
9
w All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
10
For x you are great and y do wondrous things;
z you alone are God.
11
a Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may b walk in your truth;
c unite my heart to fear your name.

and I will glorify your name forever.
13
d For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have e delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14
O God, insolent men have f risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
15
But you, O Lord, are a God g merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16
h Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to i your servant,
and save i the son of your maidservant.

because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
