27. Pile on the guilt,Don’t let them off the hook.
28. Strike their names from the list of the living;No rock-carved honor for them among the righteous.
29. I’m hurt and in pain;Give me space for healing, and mountain air.
30. Let me shout God’s name with a praising song,Let me tell his greatness in a prayer of thanks.
31. For God, this is better than oxen on the altar,Far better than blue-ribbon bulls.
32. The poor in spirit see and are glad—Oh, you God-seekers, take heart!
