6. Praise be to the Lord,for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7. The Lord is my strength and my shield;my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.My heart leaps for joy,and with my song I praise him.
8. The Lord is the strength of his people,a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9. Save your people and bless your inheritance;be their shepherd and carry them for ever.
