Psalm 27:7-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
B
I
7 Hear my voice, Lord, when I call;
have mercy on me and answer me.
8 “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”;[a]
your face, Lord, do I seek!(A)
9 Do not hide your face from me;
do not repel your servant in anger.
You are my salvation; do not cast me off;
do not forsake me, God my savior!
10 Even if my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will take me in.(B)
II
11 Lord, show me your way;
lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.(C)
12 Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;
malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
