30 But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.
31 I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.
32 This will be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, or a young ox of full growth.
33 The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.
34 For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners.
35 Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.
36 For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.
