Psalm 27:7-14
7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me. 8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord. 9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour. 10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up. 11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies. 12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself. 13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord. 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-16 9 And when he had arrived there, he stayed in a cave. 11 And he said to him, "Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze. 13 And when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there was a voice to him, saying: "What are you doing here, Elijah?" And he responded: 14 "I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away." 15 And the Lord said to him: "Go, and return on your way, through the desert, to Damascus. And when you have arrived there, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, as king over Israel. But Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who is from Abelmeholah, you shall anoint to be a prophet in your place.
