5 Because they don’t respect the works of the Lord,nor the operation of his hands,he will break them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be the Lord,because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield.My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.With my song I will thank him.
8 The Lord is their strength.He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Save your people,and bless your inheritance.Be their shepherd also,and bear them up forever.
