24. Pour out Your indignation upon them,And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25. Let their dwelling place be desolate;Let no one live in their tents.
26. For they persecute the ones You have struck,And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
27. Add iniquity to their iniquity,And let them not come into Your righteousness.
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,And not be written with the righteous.
29. But I am poor and sorrowful;Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30. I will praise the name of God with a song,And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,Which has horns and hooves.
32. The humble shall see this and be glad;And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
33. For the Lord hears the poor,And does not despise His prisoners.
