(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.
