32 The poor will see and be glad- you who seek God, may your hearts live!
32 The humble
32 When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
32 The poor in spirit see and are glad - Oh, you God-seekers, take heart!
32 The humble shall see this and be glad; And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
32 The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God's help be encouraged.
33 The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
33 For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
33 For God listens to the poor, He doesn't walk out on the wretched.
33 For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.
33 For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.
(Read Psalm 69:30-36)
The psalmist concludes the psalm with holy joy and praise, which he began with complaints of his grief. It is a great comfort to us, that humble and thankful praises are more pleasing to God than the most costly, pompous sacrifices. The humble shall look to him, and be glad; those that seek him through Christ shall live and be comforted. God will do great things for the gospel church, in which let all who wish well to it rejoice. A seed shall serve him on earth, and his servants shall inherit his heavenly kingdom. Those that love his name shall dwell before him for ever. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Arise, thou great Restorer of the ancient places to dwell in, and turn away ungodliness from thy people.
