8 non est similis tui in diis Domine et non est secundum opera tua

O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.

9 omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient et adorabunt coram te Domine et glorificabunt nomen tuum

All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

13 quia misericordia tua magna est super me et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori (Sheol h7585)

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 Deus iniqui insurrexerunt super me et synagoga potentium quaesierunt animam meam et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo

The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.

15 et tu Domine Deus miserator et misericors patiens et multae misericordiae et verax

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

16 respice in me et miserere mei da imperium tuum puero tuo et salvum fac filium ancillae tuae

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

17 fac mecum signum in bono et videant qui oderunt me et confundantur quoniam tu Domine adiuvasti me et consolatus es me

Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
