9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, LORD. They shall glorify your name.

14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they do not hold regard for you before them.
上帝啊,驕傲的人起來攻擊我, 又有一黨強橫的人尋索我的命; 他們沒有將你放在眼中。
15 But you, LORD, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
主啊,你是有憐憫有恩典的上帝, 不輕易發怒,並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實。
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.
求你向我轉臉,憐恤我, 將你的力量賜給僕人,救你婢女的兒子。
17 Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
求你向我顯出恩待我的憑據, 叫恨我的人看見便羞愧, 因為你-耶和華幫助我,安慰我。
