Blessed be the Lord!
    For he has (A)heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and (B)my shield;
    in him my heart (C)trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
    and with my (D)song I give thanks to him.

The Lord is the strength of his people;[a]
    he is (E)the saving refuge of his anointed.
Oh, save your people and bless (F)your heritage!
    (G)Be their shepherd and (H)carry them forever.
