Psalms 86:15
13 For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.
14 The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.
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.
17 Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
