Psalms 27:11
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.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
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.
13 Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
