Context of Psalms 69:32
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. When humble people see it, they will be very happy. People who want to serve God will become strong in their lives. 33For the Lord listens to the prayers of poor people. He does not forget to help his people when they are prisoners. 34Heaven and earth should praise him! The seas and everything that lives in them should praise him!
