Psalms 69:29-36

29I am suffering and in pain. Let your saving power protect me, O God.

30I want to praise God’s name with a song. I want to praise his great name with a song of thanksgiving.

31This will please the Lord more than ⌞sacrificing⌟ an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.

32Oppressed people will see ⌞this⌟ and rejoice. May the hearts of those who look to God for help be refreshed.

33The Lord listens to needy people. He does not despise his own who are in prison.

34Let heaven and earth, the seas, and everything that moves in them, praise him.

35When God saves Zion, he will rebuild the cities of Judah. His servants will live there and take possession of it.

36The descendants of his servants will inherit it. Those who love him will live there.
