Psalms 86:14

Pride

12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.

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

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

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

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

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
