7. Hear me, Lord, when I call to you!Be merciful and answer me!
8. When you said, “Come and worship me,”I answered, “I will come, Lord;
9. don't hide yourself from me!”Don't be angry with me;don't turn your servant away.You have been my help;don't leave me, don't abandon me,O God, my saviour.
10. My father and mother may abandon me,but the Lord will take care of me.
11. Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do,and lead me along a safe path,because I have many enemies.
12. Don't abandon me to my enemies,who attack me with lies and threats.
13. I know that I will live to seethe Lord's goodness in this present life.
14. Trust in the Lord.Have faith, do not despair.Trust in the Lord.
