Psalm 69:29–33
But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 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.
Context note · editorial
The speaker remains in pain while asking for protection and promising a song of thanks. Nearby verses say that God hears the needy, so thanksgiving here can coexist with an unfinished struggle.
