When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up .
When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
Teach me thy way , O LORD , and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies .

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty .
Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses , And they breathe out violence to me .
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living .

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage , and he shall strengthen thine heart : wait , I say , on the LORD.
Look unto Jehovah -- be strong , And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea , look unto Jehovah!
