O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,
15 No Wee, Wee Mwathani, ũrĩ Mũrungu mũigua tha na ũrĩ mũtugi, ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo na wĩhokeku.
And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
