Psalm 27:7-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

^7 (A)Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and ^(B)answer me.
⁸ When You said, “^(C)Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O Lord, ^(D)I shall seek.”
^9 (E)Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in ^(F)anger;
You have been ^(G)my help;
^(H)Do not abandon me nor ^(I)forsake me,
O God of my salvation!
^10 [a]For my father and ^(J)my mother have forsaken me,
But ^(K)the Lord will take me up.

^11 (L)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a ^(M)level path
Because of ^[b]my foes.
¹² Do not deliver me over to the ^[c](N)desire of my adversaries,
For ^(O)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as ^(P)breathe out violence.
^13 [d]I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the ^(Q)goodness of the Lord
In the ^(R)land of the living.
^14 (S)Wait for the Lord;
Be ^(T)strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
