Psalms [Praises] 69:23-36

²³Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.

²⁴Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.

²⁵Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.

²⁶For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

²⁷Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.

²⁸Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the upright.

²⁹But I am in pain and distress. Let your yishu'ah ·salvation·, O God, protect me.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

³¹It will please Adonai better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

³²The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

³³For Adonai sh'ma ·hears obeys· the needy, and does not despise his captive people.

³⁴Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!

³⁵For God will save Zion Mountain ridge, Marking, and build the cities of Judah Praised. They shall settle there, and own it.

³⁶The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· his name shall dwell therein.
