8 When You said, “Seek My face,”My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;Do not turn Your servant away in anger;You have been my help;Do not leave me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;For false witnesses have risen against me,And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believedThat I would see the goodness of the LordIn the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart;Wait, I say, on the Lord!
