Psalm 27:7-14

New American Standard Bible

^7 (A)Hear, Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and ^(B)answer me.
⁸ When You said, “^(C)Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“^(D)I shall seek Your face, Lord.”
^9 (E)Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in ^(F)anger;
You have been ^(G)my help;
^(H)Do not abandon me nor ^(I)forsake me,
God of my salvation!
^10 [a]For my father and ^(J)my mother have forsaken me,
But ^(K)the Lord will take me up.

^11 (L)Teach me Your way, Lord,
And lead me on a ^(M)level path
Because of my enemies.
¹² Do not turn me over to the ^[b](N)desire of my enemies,
For ^(O)false witnesses have risen against me,
And the violent ^(P)witness.
¹³ I certainly believed that I would see the ^(Q)goodness of the Lord
In the ^(R)land of the living.
^14 (S)Wait for the Lord;
Be ^(T)strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
