27Punish them for the evil they have done. Don't acquit them.
28Blot out their names from the Book of Life. Don't let them be listed with those who do right.
29But I am suffering and in physical pain. God, please save me and keep me safe.
30I will praise God's character in song; I will say how incredible he is and how thankful I am.
31The Lord is happier with this than with offering animals as sacrifices: cattle, or bulls with horns and hooves.
32The humble will see this and be happy. May God encourage everyone who comes to him.
33God hears the poor, and he does not ignore his people who are in prison.
34Praise him heaven and earth, the seas and everything that lives in them!
