(A)Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, (B)“Seek[a] my face.”
My heart says to you,
    “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”[b]
    (C)Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
    O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
    (D)O God of my salvation!
10 For (E)my father and my mother have forsaken me,
    but the Lord will (F)take me in.

11 (G)Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on (H)a level path
    because of my enemies.
12 (I)Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
    for (J)false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they (K)breathe out violence.

13 I believe that I shall look[c] upon (L)the goodness of the Lord
    in (M)the land of the living!
14 (N)Wait for the Lord;
    (O)be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!
