Psalm 86:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ God, proud people are attacking me.
    A gang of mean people is trying to kill me.
    They don’t care about you.
¹⁵ But Lord, you are a God who is tender and kind.
    You are gracious.
You are slow to get angry.
    You are faithful and full of love.
¹⁶ Come to my aid and have mercy on me.
    Show your strength by helping me.
    Save me because I serve you just as my mother did.
