6 Even now my head is held highabove my enemies on every side!I will offer in his tentsacrifices with shouts of joy;I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice, Lord, when I call;have mercy on me and answer me.
8 “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”;your face, Lord, do I seek!
9 Do not hide your face from me;do not repel your servant in anger.You are my salvation; do not cast me off;do not forsake me, God my savior!
10 Even if my father and mother forsake me,the Lord will take me in.
11 Lord, show me your way;lead me on a level pathbecause of my enemies.
12 Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
