25 Make their fortification desolate;may no one live in their tents.
26 For they persecute the one You struckand talk about the pain of those You wounded.
27 Add guilt to their guilt;do not let them share in Your righteousness.
28 Let them be erased from the book of lifeand not be recorded with the righteous.
29 But as for me — poor and in pain —let Your salvation protect me, God.
30 I will praise God’s name with songand exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31 That will please Yahweh more than an ox,more than a bull with horns and hooves.
