4. Give to them according to their workand according to the evil of their deeds;give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
5. Because they do not regard the works of the Lordor the work of his hands,he will tear them down and build them up no more.
6. Blessed be the Lord!For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7. The Lord is my strength and my shield;in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;my heart exults,and with my song I give thanks to him.
8. The Lord is the strength of his people;he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
