21. Deliver my soul from the sword,my life from the grip of the dog.
22. Save me from the lion’s mouth,my poor life from the horns of wild bulls.
23. Then I will proclaim your name to my brethren;in the assembly I will praise you:
24. “You who fear the Lord, give praise!All descendants of Jacob, give honor;show reverence, all descendants of Israel!
25. For he has not spurned or disdainedthe misery of this poor wretch,Did not turn away from me,but heard me when I cried out.
26. I will offer praise in the great assembly;my vows I will fulfill before those who fear him.
27. The poor will eat their fill;those who seek the Lord will offer praise.May your hearts enjoy life forever!”
28. All the ends of the earthwill remember and turn to the Lord;All the families of nationswill bow low before him.
29. For kingship belongs to the Lord,the ruler over the nations.
