Context of Psalms 69:29
27Make a note of all their sins. Do not ever forgive them, so that they are righteous. 28Remove their names from the book of living people. Do not write their names on the list of righteous people. But I have pain in my body and trouble in my mind. God, rescue me and keep me safe! 30I will sing to praise God's name! I will thank him because he is great! 31That will please the Lord more than if I offer him an ox, or a great bull with horns.
