Tehillim 69:23-33 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

23. (24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins shake tamid.

24. (25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let Thy charon af (burning wrath) overtake them.

25. (26) Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their ohalim [See Ac 1:20 OJBC].

26. (27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast struck; and they tell of the makh'ov (pain, grief) of those whom Thou hast wounded.

27. (28) Add avon (iniquity) unto their avon; and let them not come into Thy tzedakah.

28. (29) Let them be blotted out of the Sefer Chayyim, and not be recorded with the tzaddikim.

29. (30) But I am ani (poor) and in pain; let Thy Yeshuah (salvation), O Elohim, set me up on high.

30. (31) I will praise Shem Elohim b'shir (in song), and will magnify Him with todah (thanksgiving).

31. (32) This also shall please Hashem better than shor (ox) or bull that hath keren (horn) and parsah (hoof).

32. (33) Those that have anavah (meekness, humility) shall see this, and have simchah; and your [pl.] lev shall live that seek Elohim.

33. (34) For Hashem heareth the evyonim (needy ones, poor), and despiseth not His prisoners.
