Amplified Bible

Psalm 69:27-36 Amplified Bible (AMP)

27. Let one [unforgiven] perverseness and iniquity accumulate upon another for them [in Your book], and let them not come into Your righteousness or be justified and acquitted by You.

28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living and the book of life and not be enrolled among the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright and in right standing with God). [Rev. 3:4, 5; 20:12, 15; 21:27.]

29. But I am poor, sorrowful, and in pain; let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30. I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify Him with thanksgiving,

31. And it will please the Lord better than an ox or a bullock that has horns and hoofs.

32. The humble shall see it and be glad; you who seek God, inquiring for and requiring Him [as your first need], let your hearts revive and live! [Ps. 22:26; 42:1.]

33. For the Lord hears the poor and needy and despises not His prisoners (His miserable and wounded ones).

34. Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

35. For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; and [His servants] shall remain and dwell there and have it in their possession;

36. The children of His servants shall inherit it, and those who love His name shall dwell in it.
