Psalm 28:6-8
New Catholic Bible
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.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people,
the refuge where his anointed one[c] finds salvation.
