Psalms 69:25-36 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

25. May their place be empty.Leave no one to live in their tents.

26. They chase after those you have hurt.They talk about the pain of those you have wounded.

27. Charge them with crime after crime.Do not let them have anything good.

28. Wipe their names from the book of life.Do not list them with those who do what is right.

29. I am sad and hurting.God, save me and protect me.

30. I will praise God in a song.I will honor him by giving thanks.

31. That will please the Lord more than offering him cattle.It will please him more than the sacrifice of a bull with horns and hooves.

32. People who are not proud will see this and be glad.Be encouraged, you who worship God.

33. The Lord listens to those in need.He does not look down on captives.

34. Heaven and earth should praise him.The seas and everything in them should also.

35. God will save Jerusalem.He will rebuild the cities of Judah.Then people will live there and own the land.

36. The descendants of his servants will inherit that land.Those who love him will live there.
