5 They take no notice of what the Lord has doneor of what he has made;so he will punish themand destroy them for ever.
6 Give praise to the Lord;he has heard my cry for help.
7 The Lord protects and defends me;I trust in him.He gives me help and makes me glad;I praise him with joyful songs.
8 The Lord protects his people;he defends and saves his chosen king.
9 Save your people, Lord,and bless those who are yours.Be their shepherd,and take care of them for ever.
