9. Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!
10. Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child]. [Ps. 22:10.]
11. Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies [those who lie in wait for me].
12. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.
13. [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living!
14. Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
