8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
11Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Verse explanation
This isn’t necessarily a biographical account of David’s parents actually abandoning him, it’s a way of expressing extreme trust: even if the closest, safest relationship there is were to fail, God still would not fail.
From the Psalms 27 study in Bible in Stories.
