Psalms 28:7
5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.
6 Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.
The 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.
8 The LORD is the strength of His people, a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
9 Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; shepherd them and carry them forever.
