Psalm 27:5-14

English Standard Version

⁵ For he will ^(A)hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will ^(B)lift me high upon a rock.

⁶ And now my ^(C)head shall be lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of ^(D)joy;
^(E)I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

^7 (F)Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!
⁸ You have said, ^(G)“Seek^[a] my face.”
My heart says to you,
    “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”^{[b]
9     (H)}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,
    ^(I)O God of my salvation!
¹⁰ For ^(J)my father and my mother have forsaken me,
    but the Lord will ^(K)take me in.

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

¹³ I believe that I shall look^[c] upon ^(Q)the goodness of the Lord
    in ^(R)the land of the living!
^14 (S)Wait for the Lord;
    ^(T)be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!
