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.

When the humble see it they will be glad;

you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

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.

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.

And despiseth not his prisoners.
