⁷ LORD, listen to my voice when I cry out have mercy on me and answer me! ⁸ Come, my heart says, seek God’s face. LORD, I do seek your face! ⁹ Please don’t hide it from me! Don’t push your servant aside angrily you have been my help! God who saves me, don’t neglect me! Don’t leave me all alone! ¹⁰ Even if my father and mother left me all alone, the LORD would take me in. ¹¹ LORD, teach me your way; because of my opponents, lead me on a good path. ¹² Don’t give me over to the desires of my enemies, because false witnesses and violent accusers have taken their stand against me. ¹³ But I have sure faith that I will experience the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living! ¹⁴ Hope in the LORD! Be strong! Let your heart take courage! Hope in the LORD!
