Context of Psalms 69:29

27Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness. 28Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous. But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 30I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Ora bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
