Psalm 27

O hide not thou thy face from me *

nor cast thy servant away in displeasure.

Thou hast been my succour *

leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me *

the Lord taketh me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord *

and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries *

for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong.

I should utterly have fainted *

but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

O tarry thou the Lord’s leisure *

be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart ; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.
