26. To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury;they add to the pain of those you have hurt.
27. Pile their sins up high,and don’t let them go free.
28. Erase their names from the Book of Life;don’t let them be counted among the righteous.
29. I am suffering and in pain.Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.
30. Then I will praise God’s name with singing,and I will honor him with thanksgiving.
31. For this will please the lord more than sacrificing cattle,more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.
32. The humble will see their God at work and be glad.Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.
