Psalms 69:30

Charge them with crime upon crime.

Don’t let them come into your righteousness.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life,

and not be written with the righteous.

But I am in pain and distress.

Let your salvation, God, protect me.

It will please the LORD better than an ox,

or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

The humble have seen it, and are glad.

You who seek after God, let your heart live.

For the LORD hears the needy,

and doesn’t despise his captive people.
