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.
34. Let heaven and earth praise Him,The seas and everything that moves in them.
35. For God will save ZionAnd build the cities of Judah,That they may dwell there and possess it.
36. Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it,And those who love His name shall dwell in it.
