24. Pour out your anger on them—let your burning fury catch them.
25. Let their camp be devastated;let no one dwell in their tents.
26. Because they go after those you’ve already struck;they talk about the pain of those you’ve already pierced.
27. Pile guilt on top of their guilt!Don’t let them come into your righteousness!
28. Let them be wiped out of the scroll of life!Let them not be recorded along with the righteous!
29. And me? I’m afflicted.I’m full of pain.Let your salvation keep me safe, God!
30. I will praise God’s name with song;I will magnify him with thanks
31. because that is more pleasing to the Lord than an ox,more pleasing than a young bull with full horns and hooves.
32. Let the afflicted see it and be glad!You who seek God—let your hearts beat strong again
33. because the Lord listens to the needyand doesn’t despise his captives.
34. Let heaven and earth praise God,the oceans too, and all that moves within them!
