26 For they persecute him whom you have wounded.They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
27 Charge them with crime upon crime.Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life,and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am in pain and distress.Let your salvation, God, protect me.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song,and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 It will please the Lord better than an ox,or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
32 The humble have seen it, and are glad.You who seek after God, let your heart live.
