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.
14 Wait with hope for the Lord.Be strong, and let your heart be courageous.Yes, wait with hope for the Lord.
