ββ¦you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. TURN TO ME AND BE GRACIOUS TO ME; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant. SHOW ME A SIGN OF YOUR FAVOR, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.β
(Psalms 86:15-17)
