23. Let their eyes be dark so they cannot see, and make their loins continually tremble.
24. Pour out your indignation on them, and let your burning anger overtake them.
25. Let their camp be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents,
26. because they persecute those whom you, yourself, have struck, and they tell of the pain of those you have wounded.
27. Add guilt on top of their guilt, and do not let them be acquitted.
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be recorded with the righteous.
29. But as for me, though I am afflicted and pained, your salvation will protect me, O God.
30. I will praise the name of God in song, and magnify him with thanksgiving.
31. For Yahweh it will be better than an ox or bull, horned and hoofed.
32. The afflicted will see and rejoice. O God seekers, let your heart revive,
33. because Yahweh hears the needy and does not despise his own who are prisoners.
34. Let heavens and earth praise him, the seas and all that moves in them,
35. because God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.
36. And the offspring of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will abide in it.
