27 Pile guilt on top of their guilt!Don’t let them come into your righteousness!
28 Let them be wiped out of the scroll of life!Let them not be recorded along with the righteous!
29 And me? I’m afflicted.I’m full of pain.Let your salvation keep me safe, God!
30 I will praise God’s name with song;I will magnify him with thanks
31 because that is more pleasing to the Lord than an ox,more pleasing than a young bull with full horns and hooves.
32 Let the afflicted see it and be glad!You who seek God—let your hearts beat strong again
33 because the Lord listens to the needyand doesn’t despise his captives.
