Psalm 27:5-13

New King James Version

⁵For ^(A)in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall ^(B)set me high upon a rock.

⁶And now ^(C)my head shall be ^[a]lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of ^[b]joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

⁷Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
⁸When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
⁹^(D)Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
¹⁰^(E)When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

¹¹^(F)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
¹²Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For ^(G)false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
¹³I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
^(H)In the land of the living.
