“WAIT FOR THE LORD!”

 Psalm 27:7-14                    (ESV)

    “[7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;

        be gracious to me and answer me! 

    [8] YOU have said, “Seek my face.”

    My heart says to YOU,

        “YOUR face, LORD, do I seek.” 

    [9]     Hide not YOUR face from me.

    Turn not YOUR servant away in anger,

        O YOU WHO have been my help.

    Cast me not off; forsake me not,

        O GOD of my salvation! 

    [10] For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

        but the LORD will take me in.

    [11] Teach me YOUR way, O LORD,

        and lead me on a level path

        because of my enemies. 

    [12] Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;

        for false witnesses have risen against me,

        and they breathe out violence.

    [13] I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD

        in the land of the living! 

    [14] “WAIT FOR THE LORD”;

        be strong, and let your heart take courage;

        “WAIT FOR THE LORD”!
