Psalm 27:7-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!^(A)
8 “Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, do I seek.^(B)
9     Do not hide your face from me.

Do not turn your servant away in anger,
    you who have been my help.
Do not cast me off; do not forsake me,
    O God of my salvation!^(C)
10 If my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will take me up.^(D)

¹¹ Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on a level path
    because of my enemies.^(E)
12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries,
    for false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they are breathing out violence.^(F)

¹³ I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.^(G)
14 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!^(H)
