Psalms 27:10
8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.
9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.
12 Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
