7  Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8  You have said, “Seek my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, Lord, do I seek.”
9  Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!

Psalm 27:7–9
