7O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
8When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
9Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
11Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
12Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
13I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.
