6. The Lord deserves praise,for he has heard my plea for mercy!
7. The Lord strengthens and protects me;I trust in him with all my heart.I am rescued and my heart is full of joy;I will sing to him in gratitude.
8. The Lord strengthens his people;he protects and delivers his chosen king.
9. Deliver your people!Empower the nation that belongs to you!Care for them like a shepherd and carry them in your arms at all times!
