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.
