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!
35. God will most certainly save Zionand will rebuild Judah’s citiesso that God’s servants can live there and possess it.
36. The offspring of God’s servants will inherit Zion,and those who love God’s name will dwell there.
