10 For (A)my father and my mother have forsaken me,
    but the Lord will (B)take me in.

11 (C)Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on (D)a level path
    because of my enemies.

    in (I)the land of the living!
14 (J)Wait for the Lord;
    (K)be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!
