Bible verse
My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.
Psalm 27:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 27.
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.
5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.
8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.
9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
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.
