Context of Psalms 27:10
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Yhwh, will I seek. 9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yhwh will take me up. 11Teach me thy way, O Yhwh, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
