6. Even now my head is held highabove my enemies on every side!I will offer in his tentsacrifices with shouts of joy;I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.
7. Hear my voice, Lord, when I call;have mercy on me and answer me.
8. “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”;your face, Lord, do I seek!
9. Do not hide your face from me;do not repel your servant in anger.You are my salvation; do not cast me off;do not forsake me, God my savior!
10. Even if my father and mother forsake me,the Lord will take me in.
11. Lord, show me your way;lead me on a level pathbecause of my enemies.
12. Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes;malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me.
13. I believe I shall see the Lord’s goodnessin the land of the living.
14. Wait for the Lord, take courage;be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!
