7 Lord, listen to my voice when I cry out—have mercy on me and answer me!
8 Come, my heart says, seek God’s face.Lord, I do seek your face!
9 Please don’t hide it from me!Don’t push your servant aside angrily—you have been my help!God who saves me,don’t neglect me!Don’t leave me all alone!
10 Even if my father and mother left me all alone,the Lord would take me in.
11 Lord, teach me your way;because of my opponents, lead me on a good path.
12 Don’t give me over to the desires of my enemies,because false witnesses and violent accusershave taken their stand against me.
13 But I have sure faiththat I will experience the Lord’s goodnessin the land of the living!
