PSALM 27: 7-14
7
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud,
be gracious to me and answer me!
8
Thou hast said, “Seek ye my face.”
My heart says to thee,
“Thy face, Lord, do I seek.”
9
Hide not thy face from me.
Turn not thy servant away in anger,
thou who hast been my help.
Cast me not off, forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!
10
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will take me up.
11
Teach me thy way, O Lord;
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
14
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
yea, wait for the Lord!
