Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs is an album by the band Ministry. It was released in 1992 through Sire Records. The actual title of the album is КЕФАЛНЕО (a Greek word roughly pronounced as "ke-fa-lay," meaning "head" or "leader", and the number 69 in Greek numerals), though Psalm 69 is used for simplicity's sake.

The song "N.W.O." (New World Order) features samples of George H. W. Bush and was used in the Ralph Bakshi half live action/half animated film Cool World. It is frontman Al Jourgensen's critical take on the state of world affairs after the Gulf War and the end of the Cold War and an uncertain future. "Jesus Built My Hotrod" features guest vocals by Gibby Haynes, from the Butthole Surfers.

"N.W.O." was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1993.

The title of the album is directly linked to chapter 69 of The Book of Lies, a written work of Aleister Crowley, where he uses the expression "The way to succeed and the way to suck eggs" as a pun for the 69 sex position ("suck seed" and "suck eggs"). Moreover, Crowley titled the chapter КЕФАЛН, which means "head" (the English word being slang for Oral sex - but not the original ancient Greek word) and is used often in the New Testament. There is no direct link to the Old Testament passage Psalm 69.
