will come and bow down before you, Lord,
10For you are great and perform wonders;
11Teach me your way, Lord,
and I will live by your truth.
12I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God,
and will honor your name forever.86:12 Ps 111:1

14God, arrogant people have attacked me;
a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me.
They do not let you guide them.86:14 Lit They do not set you in front of them86:14 Ps 54:3
15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
16Turn to me and be gracious to me.
Give your strength to your servant;
17Show me a sign of your goodness;
my enemies will see and be put to shame
