Psalms 69:28-33

28May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! Do not let their names be listed with the godly!

29I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me!

30I will sing praises to God’s name! I will magnify him as I give him thanks!

31That will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hooves.

32The oppressed look on – let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!

33For the Lord listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people.
