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 Yahweh 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.
