Psalms 27:7-12

7HearH8085, O LordH3068, when I cryH7121 with my voiceH6963: have mercyH2603 also upon me, and answerH6030 me.

8When thou saidst, SeekH1245 ye my faceH6440; my heartH3820 saidH559 unto thee, Thy faceH6440, LordH3068, will I seekH1245.1

9HideH5641 not thy faceH6440 far from me; putH5186 not thy servantH5650 awayH5186 in angerH639: thou hast been my helpH5833; leaveH5203 me not, neither forsakeH5800 me, O GodH430 of my salvationH3468.

10When my fatherH1 and my motherH517 forsakeH5800 me, then the LordH3068 will take me upH622.2

11TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O LordH3068, and leadH5148 me in a plainH4334 pathH734, because of mine enemiesH8324.3 4

12DeliverH5414 me not over unto the willH5315 of mine enemiesH6862: for falseH8267 witnessesH5707 are risen upH6965 against me, and such as breathe outH3307 crueltyH2555.
