Texts -- Psalms 27:7-14 (NET)

Context
27:7 Hear me, O Lord , when I cry out ! Have mercy on me and answer me! 27:8 My heart tells me to pray to you, and I do pray to you, O Lord . 27:9 Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger ! You are my deliverer ! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me! 27:10 Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the Lord would take me in. 27:11 Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me! 27:12 Do not turn me over to my enemies , for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me. 27:13 Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living ? 27:14 Rely on the Lord ! Be strong and confident ! Rely on the Lord !
