19You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated. All my opponents are in front of you.
20Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none. I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one.
21They poisoned my food, and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Let the table set for them become a trap and a snare for their friends.
23Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see. Let their thighs continually shake.
24Pour your rage on them. Let your burning anger catch up with them.
25Let their camp be deserted and their tents empty.
26They persecute the one you have struck, and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded.
27Charge them with one crime after another. Do not let them be found innocent.
28Let their [names] be erased from the Book of Life. Do not let them be listed with righteous people.
29I am suffering and in pain. Let your saving power protect me, O God.
30I want to praise the name of God with a song. I want to praise its greatness 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.
