Psalm 69:28-30
New Catholic Bible
28 Charge them with crime after crime;
let them not share in your salvation.
29 Blot them out from the book of the living;[a]
do not number them among the upright.
30 But I am filled with pain and suffering;
may your saving power, O God, raise me up.
Footnotes
- Psalm 69:29 Book of the living: a figurative expression denoting God’s record of the righteous (see note on Ps 51:3). From the human point of view, individuals may be blotted out of that book, but from the divine point of view it contains only the names of the elect who will not be blotted out (see Phil 4:3; Rev 3:5; 13:8; 17:8; 20:15).
