Psalm 69:30-36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
V
30 But here I am miserable and in pain;
let your saving help protect me, God,
31 [a]That I may praise God’s name in song
and glorify it with thanksgiving.
32 That will please the Lord more than oxen,
more than bulls with horns and hooves:(A)
33 “See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, take heart!(B)
34 For the Lord hears the poor,
and does not spurn those in bondage.
35 Let the heaven and the earth praise him,
the seas and whatever moves in them!”
VI
36 For God will rescue Zion,
and rebuild the cities of Judah.(C)
They will dwell there and possess it;
