26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded,
27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29. But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31. And it shall please the Lord better than an ox, or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32. The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live.
33. For the Lord heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.
