7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud.Have pity on me, and answer me.
8 ⌊When you said,⌋“Seek my face,”my heart said to you,“O Lord, I will seek your face.”
9 Do not hide your face from me.Do not angrily turn me away.You have been my help.Do not leave me!Do not abandon me, O God, my savior!
10 Even if my father and mother abandon me,the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord.Lead me on a level pathbecause I have enemies who spy on me.
12 Do not surrender me to the will of my opponents.False witnesses have risen against me.They breathe out violence.
13 I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lordin this world of the living.
