Psalms 27:5-9

⁵Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

⁷The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.

⁸The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

⁹Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.
