28 Let them
abe blotted out of the book of the living,
bAnd not be written with the righteous.
29 But I
am poor and sorrowful;
Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 aI will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31 aThis also shall please the
Lord better than an ox
or bull,
Which has horns and hooves.
32 aThe humble shall see
this and be glad;
And you who seek God,
byour hearts shall live.
33 For the
Lord hears the poor,
And does not despise
aHis prisoners.
34 aLet heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas
band everything that moves in them.
35 aFor God will save Zion
And build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.
36 Also,
athe descendants of His servants shall inherit it,
And those who love His name shall dwell in it.
