Context of Psalms 69:25
23May their eyes be dimmed so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually [in terror and weakness]. 24Pour out Your indignation on them, And let [the fierceness of] Your burning anger overtake them. May their encampment be desolate; May no one dwell in their tents. 26For they have persecuted him whom You have struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have pierced and wounded. 27Add [unforgiven] iniquity to their iniquity [in Your book], And may they not come into Your righteousness.
