Context of Psalms 69:30

28Let them be erased from the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous. 29But as for me — poor and in pain — let your salvation protect me, God. I 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!
