Context of Psalms 69:29
27Add guilt to their guilt, And may they not come into Your righteousness. 28May they be wiped out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous. But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, God, set me safely on high. 30I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving. 31And it will please the Lord better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs.
