You don't need or want the ISC DLV trust anchor for that, since there is a
chain of trust to the root and it's better to use the root trust anchor
when you can. The DLV should be used to fill the gaps where it isn't
possible to form a chain of trust to the root (e.g. an unsigned parent or
a parent that doesn't yet accept DS records.)

Here's a quick guide to setting up DNSSEC validation with bind-9.7:
