26. Let their encampment be deserted. Let none dwell in their tents.
27. For they persecute the one You have smitten, so they tell of the pain of those You have wounded.
28. Add guilt to their guilt—may they not come into Your righteousness.
29. May they be wiped out of the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous.
30. But I—I am afflicted and in pain. Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
31. I will praise God’s Name with a song, and magnify Him with praise.
32. It will please Adonai better than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.
33. The humble will see it and be glad. You who seek God, let your hearts revive.
34. For Adonai hears the needy and does not despise His captive people.
35. Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything moving in them.
