Psalm 27:7-14

New International Version

⁷ Hear my voice^(A) when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.^(B)
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!^(C)”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
⁹ Do not hide your face^(D) from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;^(E)
    you have been my helper.^(F)
Do not reject me or forsake^(G) me,
    God my Savior.^(H)
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
¹¹ Teach me your way,^(I) Lord;
    lead me in a straight path^(J)
    because of my oppressors.^(K)
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses^(L) rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

¹³ I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord^(M)
    in the land of the living.^(N)
14 Wait^(O) for the Lord;
    be strong^(P) and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.
