29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain—

may your salvation, God, protect me.

30 I will praise God’s name in song

and glorify him with thanksgiving.

31 This will please the Lord more than an ox,

more than a bull with its horns and hooves.

32 The poor will see and be glad—

you who seek God, may your hearts live!

33 The Lord hears the needy

and does not despise his captive people.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him,

the seas and all that move in them,

35 for God will save Zion

and rebuild the cities of Judah.

Then people will settle there and possess it;

36 the children of his servants will inherit it,

and those who love his name will dwell there.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful:

Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox

Or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32 The humble shall see this, and be glad:

And your heart shall live that seek God.

33 For the Lord heareth the poor,

And despiseth not his prisoners.

34 Let the heaven and earth praise him,

The seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

35 For God will save Zion,

And will build the cities of Judah:

That they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it:

And they that love his name shall dwell therein.

29 I am suffering and in pain.

Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.

30 Then I will praise God’s name with singing,

and I will honor him with thanksgiving.

31 For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle,

more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.

32 The humble will see their God at work and be glad.

Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

33 For the Lord hears the cries of the needy;

he does not despise his imprisoned people.

34 Praise him, O heaven and earth,

the seas and all that move in them.

35 For God will save Jerusalem

and rebuild the towns of Judah.

His people will live there

and settle in their own land.

36 The descendants of those who obey him will inherit the land,

and those who love him will live there in safety.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful;

Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,

Which has horns and hooves.

32 The humble shall see this and be glad;

And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.

33 For the Lord hears the poor,

And does not despise His prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him,

The seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion

And build the cities of Judah,

That they may dwell there and possess it.

36 Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it,

And those who love His name shall dwell in it.

29 I am sad and hurting.

God, save me and protect me.

30 I will praise God in a song

and will honor him by giving thanks.

31 That will please the Lord more than offering him cattle,

more than sacrificing a bull with horns and hoofs.

32 Poor people will see this and be glad.

Be encouraged, you who worship God.

33 The Lord listens to those in need

and does not look down on captives.

34 Heaven and earth should praise him,

the seas and everything in them.

35 God will save Jerusalem

and rebuild the cities of Judah.

Then people will live there and own the land.

36 The descendants of his servants will inherit that land,

and those who love him will live there.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful:

Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 And it will please Jehovah better than an ox,

Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32 The meek have seen it, and are glad:

Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

33 For Jehovah heareth the needy,

And despiseth not his prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him,

The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah;

And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it;

And they that love his name shall dwell therein.

29 But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving; 31 And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, —a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs. 32 The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live. 33 For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein. 35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it: 36 And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

29 I am suffering and in pain. 

Let your saving power protect me, O God. 

30 I want to praise God’s name with a song. 

I want to praise his great name with a song of thanksgiving. 

31 This will please the Lord more than ⸤sacrificing⸥ an ox 

or a bull with horns and hoofs. 

32 Oppressed people will see ⸤this⸥ and rejoice. 

May the hearts of those who look to God for help be refreshed. 

33 The Lord listens to needy people. 

He does not despise his own who are in prison. 

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

35 When God saves Zion, he will rebuild the cities of Judah. 

His servants will live there and take possession of it. 

36 The descendants of his servants will inherit it. 

Those who love him will live there. 

29 But as for me—poor and in pain—

let Your salvation protect me, God.

30 I will praise God’s name with song

and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

31 That will please Yahweh more than an ox,

more than a bull with horns and hooves.

32 The humble will see it and rejoice.

You who seek God, take heart!

33 For the Lord listens to the needy

and does not despise

His own who are prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him,

the seas and everything that moves in them,

35 for God will save Zion

and build up the cities of Judah.

They will live there and possess it.

36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it,

and those who love His name will live in it.

29 But I am lowly and in pain;

let your salvation, O God, protect me.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song;

I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 This will please the Lord more than an ox

or a bull with horns and hoofs.

32 Let the oppressed see it and be glad;

you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

33 For the Lord hears the needy,

and does not despise his own that are in bonds.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion

and rebuild the cities of Judah;

and his servants shall live there and possess it;

36 the children of his servants shall inherit it,

and those who love his name shall live in it.

29 But as for me, though I am afflicted and pained,

your salvation will protect me, O God.

30 I will praise the name of God in song,

and magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 For Yahweh it will be better than an ox or bull,

horned and hoofed.

32 The afflicted will see and rejoice.

O God seekers, let your heart revive,

33 because Yahweh hears the needy

and does not despise his own who are prisoners.

34 Let heavens and earth praise him,

the seas and all that moves in them,

35 because God will save Zion

and build the cities of Judah,

that they may dwell there and possess it.

36 And the offspring of his servants will inherit it,

and those who love his name will abide in it.

29 I’m in pain. I’m in deep trouble.

God, save me and keep me safe.

30 I will praise God’s name by singing to him.

I will bring him glory by giving him thanks.

31 That will please the Lord more than offering him an ox.

It will please him more than offering him a bull with its horns and hoofs.

32 Poor people will see it and be glad.

The hearts of those who worship God will be strengthened.

33 The Lord hears those who are in need.

He doesn’t forget his people in prison.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him.

Let the oceans and everything that moves in them praise him.

35 God will save Zion.

He will build the cities of Judah again.

Then people will live in them and own the land.

36 The children of those who serve God will receive it.

Those who love him will live there.

29 But I am afflicted and in pain;

May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with song

And magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 And it will please the Lord better than an ox

Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

32 The humble have seen it and are glad;

You who seek God, let your heart revive.

33 For the Lord hears the needy

And does not despise His who are prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him,

The seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah,

That they may dwell there and possess it.

36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it,

And those who love His name will dwell in it.
