Psalms 27 — Context

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, But the LORD will take me up.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.

Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
