7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
There is no one who compares to you among the gods, Lord. There are no deeds like your deeds.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All the nations that you have made will come and bow before you, Lord. They will honor your name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant; save the son of your servant woman.
17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
Show me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will see it and be put to shame because you, Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.
