Psalm 69:32

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
32The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
33For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
34Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
