Psalms 27:5-9

⁵Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.

⁷The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

⁸The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

⁹Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
