8 When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,then unto thee replyThus did my heart, Above all thingsthy face, Lord, seek will I.
9 Far from me hide not thou thy face;put not away from theeThy servant in thy wrath: thou hastan helper been to me.O God of my salvation,leave me not, nor forsake:
10 Though me my parents both should leave,the Lord will me up take.
11 O Lord, instruct me in thy way,to me a leader beIn a plain path, because of thosethat hatred bear to me.
12 Give me not to mine en'mies' will;for witnesses that lieAgainst me risen are, and suchas breathe out cruelty.
13 I fainted had, unless that Ibelieved had to seeThe Lord's own goodness in the landof them that living be.
14 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,and he shall strength affordUnto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,I say, upon the Lord.
