[Intro] [bright grand piano playing syncopated chords] [fretless bass enters with melodic fills] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] The Lord is my strength and my shield My heart trusts in Him and I am helped [Chorus] Therefore my heart greatly rejoices And with my song I will praise Him [Verse 2] [piano continues rhythmic eighth-note pattern] O Lord, You're my strength and my shield My heart trusts in You and I am helped [Chorus] Therefore my heart greatly rejoices And with my song I will praise You. [Instrumental Bridge] [mandolin solo ] [bass follows the chord progression with sustained root notes] [speaking during instrumental bridge:] Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore, my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I praise him. The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. [Verse 3] [vocals return with increased intensity] O Lord, You're my strength and my shield My heart trusts in You and I am helped [Chorus] Therefore my heart greatly rejoices And with my song I will praise You And with my song I will praise You [Outro] [piano slows down, playing soft arpeggios] [bass fades out on a sustained C note] [final piano chord rings out with reverb]
