28. Let them be erased from the book of lifeand not be recorded with the righteous.
29. But as for me — poor and in pain —let Your salvation protect me, God.
30. I will praise God’s name with songand exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31. That will please Yahweh more than an ox,more than a bull with horns and hooves.
32. The humble will see it and rejoice.You who seek God, take heart!
33. For the Lord listens to the needyand does not despiseHis own who are prisoners.
