6 And now my head's lift up above ‖ all my surrounding foes. ‖ So Sacrifices with a shout ‖ I'll offer in His Tent; ‖ I'll sing, yea, I will praises sing ‖ to the ETERNAL God. ‖
7 Hear, O ETERNAL God, my voice ‖ with which I cry to thee: ‖ Have mercy also upon me, ‖ and hearken unto me. ‖
8 Seek ye my face; On hearing this, ‖ my heart did speak to thee; ‖ Thy face, O thou ETERNAL God, ‖ Thy face now, I will seek. ‖
9 Hide not away from me thy face, ‖ nor suffer to decline, ‖ in * or to anger him that is ‖ a servant unto Thee. ‖ Thou hast afforded help to me; ‖ O do not leave me now; ‖ ⟨p. 60⟩not yet forsake me, O thou God ‖ whence my Salvation comes. ‖
