Psalms 69:29
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
28 May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
30 I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31 And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
