6May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.
7The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.
8The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.
9Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
