American Standard Version

Psalm 27:6-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.

7. Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.

9. Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10. When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.

11. Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.

12. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.

13. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.
