Psalm 28:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Since they have paid no heed to the deeds of the Lord
or to the works of his hands,
he will strike them down
and refuse to restore them.
6 Blessed[a] be the Lord,
for he has heard my cry of supplication.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart[b] places its trust in him.
He has helped me, and I exult;
then with my song I praise him.
