²² Let their table before them become a snare;
And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
²³ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see;
And make their loins continually to shake.
²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them,
And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
²⁵ Let their ^[a]habitation be desolate;
Let none dwell in their tents.
²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;
And they tell of the ^[b]sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
²⁷ Add iniquity unto their iniquity;
And let them not come into thy righteousness.
²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of ^[c]life,
And not be written with the righteous.
²⁹ But I am poor and ^[d]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.
