12 Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;
    malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
13 I believe I shall see the Lord’s goodness
    in the land of the living.[a](A)
14 Wait for the Lord, take courage;
    be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!

  1. 27:13 In the land of the living: or “in the land of life,” an epithet of the Jerusalem Temple (Ps 52:7; 116:9; Is 38:11), where the faithful had access to the life-giving presence of God.

12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses(A) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord(B)
    in the land of the living.(C)
14 Wait(D) for the Lord;
    be strong(E) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.
