Psalms 27:7-14

Please listen when I pray! Have pity. Answer my prayer. My heart tells me to pray. I am eager to see your face, so don't hide from me. I am your servant, LORD, and you have helped me. Don't turn from me in anger. You alone keep me safe. Don't reject or desert me. Even if my father and mother should desert me, you will take care of me. Teach me to follow, LORD, and lead me on the right path because of my enemies. Don't let them do to me what they want. People tell lies about me and make violent threats, but I know I will live to see how kind you are. Trust the LORD! Be brave and strong and trust the LORD.
