Context of Psalms 69:26
24Pour out Your indignation on them, And let [the fierceness of] Your burning anger overtake them. 25May their encampment be desolate; May no one dwell in their tents. For 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. 28May they be blotted out of the book of life [and their lives come to an end] And may they not be recorded with the righteous (those in right standing with God).
