Context of Psalms 69:29
27Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. 28May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me. 30I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. 31This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
