And a mob of violent men have sought my life,
And have not set You before them.
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

What Does Psalms 86:15 Mean?
Psalm 86:15
God bears long and is slow to anger. Longsuffering is proof of God's goodness, faithfulness, and His desire to grant us salvation. Romans 2:4 describes God as forbearing and longsuffering. Forbearance is refraining from the enforcement of something that is due like a debt, right, or obligation. Longsuffering differs slightly in that its emphasis is on temperament.
