Psalm 27:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ My heart tells me to pray.
I am eager to see your face,
⁹     so don't hide from me.
I am your servant, Lord,
and you have helped me.
    Don't turn from me in anger.
You alone keep me safe.
    Don't reject or desert me.
¹⁰ Even if my father and mother
should desert me,
    you will take care of me.
