Psalms 27:12

PrayerJustice

10 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.

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.

14 Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
