Psalms 69:29-36
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 69
29But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, God, set me safely on high. 30I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving. 31And it will please the Lord better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs. 32The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive. 33For the Lord hears the needy, And does not despise those of His who are prisoners. 34Heaven and earth shall praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them. 35For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, So that they may live there and possess it. 36The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will live in it.King James Version
30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Chapter 69
29But as for me--poor and in pain -- let your salvation protect me, God. 30I will praise God's name with song and exalt him with thanksgiving. 31That will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves. 32The humble will see it and rejoice. You who seek God, take heart!
33For the Lord listens to the needy and does not despise his own who are prisoners.
34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them,
35for God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah. They will live there and possess it.
36The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will live in it.
New Living Translation
30Then I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor him with thanksgiving.
31For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.
32The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.
33For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.
34Praise him, O heaven and earth, the seas and all that move in them.
35For God will save Jerusalem and rebuild the towns of Judah. His people will live there and settle in their own land.
36The descendants of those who obey him will inherit the land, and those who love him will live there in safety.

33The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,

36the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.
