Psalm 86:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 But you, O Lord, are a merciful and compassionate God,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness and faithfulness.[a]
16 Turn to me and grant me your gracious favor;
endow your servant with strength
and rescue the child of your handmaid.[b]
17 Grant me a sign of your favor,[c]
so that those who hate me
may see it and be put to shame,
because you, O Lord,
have helped and comforted me.

- Psalm 86:17 Favor: the good things promised in the covenant (see notes on Pss 27:13; 31:20). Those who hate me . . . put to shame: the imprecations against enemies that conclude a good number of the psalms are here kept to a minimum.
