1By David. 2When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, 3Though an army should encamp against me, 4One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after, 5For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. 6Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. 7Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. 8When you said, "Seek my face," 9Do not hide your face from me. 10When my father and my mother forsake me, 11Teach me your way, LORD. 12Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, 13I am still confident of this: 14Wait for the LORD.
