There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὅσα ἐποίησας ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιόν σου κύριε καὶ δοξάσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου
All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
13 ὅτι τὸ ἔλεός σου μέγα ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐρρύσω τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐξ ᾅδου κατωτάτου (Sheol )
For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol )
14 ὁ θεός παράνομοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ ἐμέ καὶ συναγωγὴ κραταιῶν ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ οὐ προέθεντό σε ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν
God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
15 καὶ σύ κύριε ὁ θεός οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος καὶ ἀληθινός
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με δὸς τὸ κράτος σου τῷ παιδί σου καὶ σῶσον τὸν υἱὸν τῆς παιδίσκης σου
Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
17 ποίησον μετ’ ἐμοῦ σημεῖον εἰς ἀγαθόν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν οἱ μισοῦντές με καὶ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ὅτι σύ κύριε ἐβοήθησάς μοι καὶ παρεκάλεσάς με
Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
