6 Bless the Lordbecause he has listened to my request for mercy!
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield.My heart trusts him.I was helped, my heart rejoiced,and I thank him with my song.
8 The Lord is his people’s strength;he is a fortress of protection for his anointed one.
9 Save your people, God!Bless your possession!Shepherd them and carry them for all time!
