Psalms 26:8-12

⁸My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.

⁹Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.

¹⁰For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.

¹¹Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of my enemies.

¹²Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
