Context of Psalms 69:25
23Let their eyes grow too dim to see, and let their hips continually quake. 24Pour out your rage on them, and let your burning anger overtake them. Make their fortification desolate; may no one live in their tents. 26For they persecute the one you struck and talk about the pain of those you wounded. 27Charge them with crime on top of crime; do not let them share in your righteousness.
