Blessed be the Lord,
Because He (A)has heard the sound of my pleading.
The Lord is my (B)strength and my (C)shield;
My heart (D)trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore (E)my heart triumphs,
And with (F)my song I shall thank Him.
The Lord is [a]their (G)strength,
And He is a refuge of (H)salvation to His anointed.
(I)Save Your people and bless (J)Your inheritance;
Be their (K)shepherd also, and (L)carry them forever.
