The King James Version Bible

Psalms 27:7-14

  1. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

  2. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

  3. Hide 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.

  4. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

  5. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

  6. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

  7. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

  8. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
