Psalms 27:7-12

⁷Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

⁸When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I seek.

⁹O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

¹⁰For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

¹²Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.
