Psalms 27:13
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.
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!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
