Psalm 86:15-17

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹⁷ Prove your goodness to me.
    Then my enemies will see it and be put to shame.
    Lord, you have helped me and given me comfort.
