27. Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
28. May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
29. But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me.
30. I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
