The LORD Hears, Helps, and Shepherds His People

urgent cry -> sanctuary-directed supplication -> moral separation -> divine recompense -> heard mercy -> joyful praise -> corporate shepherding prayer

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.

8The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.

9Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
