Psalms 27:8-13

⁸My heart has said to you, “Your face, O Lord, I seek.”

⁹Hide not your face from me, reject not your servant in anger: for you have been my help. Abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my help:

¹⁰for father and mother have left me; but the Lord will take me up.

¹¹Teach me your way, O Lord: lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.

¹²Give me not up, O Lord, unto the rage of my foes; for against me have risen false witnesses, breathing out cruelty.

¹³Firm is the faith I cherish, that I, in the land of the living, will yet see the goodness of God.
