29But I am in pain and despair;

lift me up, O God, and save me!

30I will praise God with a song;

I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks.

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

more than sacrificing a full-grown bull.

32When the oppressed see this, they will be glad;

those who worship God will be encouraged.

33The Lord listens to those in need

and does not forget his people in prison.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But I am afflicted and in pain;

let your salvation, O God, set me on high!

I will praise the name of God with a song;

I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

This will please the Lord more than an ox

or a bull with horns and hoofs.

When the humble see it they will be glad;

you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

For the Lord hears the needy

and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

But as for me, afflicted and in pain—

may your salvation, God, protect me.

I will praise God’s name in song

and glorify him with thanksgiving.

This will please the Lord more than an ox,

more than a bull with its horns and hooves.

The poor will see and be glad—

you who seek God, may your hearts live!

The Lord hears the needy

and does not despise his captive people.

NLTNew Living Translation

I am suffering and in pain.

Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.

Then I will praise God’s name with singing,

and I will honor him with thanksgiving.

For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle,

more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.

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

Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

For the Lord hears the cries of the needy;

he does not despise his imprisoned people.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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

your salvation will protect me, O God.

I will praise the name of God in song,

and magnify him with thanksgiving.

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

horned and hoofed.

The afflicted will see and rejoice.

O God seekers, let your heart revive,

because Yahweh hears the needy

and does not despise his own who are prisoners.

KJV 1900King James Version

But I am poor and sorrowful:

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

I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

This also shall please the Lord better than an ox

Or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

The humble shall see this, and be glad:

And your heart shall live that seek God.

For the Lord heareth the poor,

And despiseth not his prisoners.
