Context of Psalms 69:30

28May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. 29But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me. I 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. 32The poor will see and be glad— you who seek God, may your hearts live!
