Context of Psalms 69:29
27Charge them with crime on top of crime; do not let them share in your righteousness. 28Let them be erased from the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous. But 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.
