Psalms 27:8-14

⁸When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”

⁹Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

¹¹Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

¹²Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

¹³I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁴Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
