26. Because him they do persecute,whom thou didst smite before;They talk unto the grief of thosewhom thou hast wounded sore.
27. Add thou iniquity untotheir former wickedness;And do not let them come at allinto thy righteousness.
28. Out of the book of life let thembe raz'd and blotted quite;Among the just and righteouslet not their names be writ.
29. But now become exceeding poorand sorrowful am I:By thy salvation, O my God,let me be set on high.
30. The name of God I with a songmost cheerfully will praise;And I, in giving thanks to him,his name shall highly raise.
31. This to the Lord a sacrificemore gracious shall proveThan bullock, ox, or any beastthat hath both horn and hoof.
32. When this the humble men shall see,it joy to them shall give:O all ye that do seek the Lord,your hearts shall ever live.
