I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
