31 I will praise the name of my God in song, I will exalt him in praise,

32 And it shall be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, than a calf with horns and hoofs.

33 Those who suffer will see this, and they will rejoice. And your heart shall live, you who seek God;

34 for the Lord hearkens unto the poor, and despises not his prisoners.

35 Let the heavens and the earth, the seas, and everything that moves in them, praise him;

36 For God shall save Zion, and shall build the cities of Judah, and they shall dwell therein, and inherit her,

37 and the offspring of his servants shall be established in it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalm 69

1 To the head of the choir. Psalm of David. In remembrance.

2 Make haste, O God, deliver me, hasten, O Lord, to help me.

3 Let them be ashamed and ashamed of those who seek my soul! May those who wish me harm be turned back and ridiculed!

4 Let them turn back because of their reproach to me, saying, 'Well done! good!"

5 Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be gladness in thee, and let them that love thy salvation say without ceasing, 'Great is God!'

6 But I am poor and needy; God, hurry up to me! Thou art my help and my Deliverer; God! Not slow.

Psalm 70

1 In thee, O Lord, I trust, that I may never be ashamed.

2 In thy righteousness deliver me, and set me free; incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

3 Be I a firm refuge where I may always take refuge; Thou hast commanded me to be saved, for thou art my stronghold and my fortress.

4 My God! deliver me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the wicked, and out of the hand of the wicked, and of the oppressor;

5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God, my hope from my youth.

6 In thee have I rested from the womb; Thou hast brought me out of my mother's womb; My praise shall not cease unto thee.
