Context of Psalms 69:27
25Make 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. Charge them with crime on top of crime; do not let them share in your righteousness. 28Let them be erased from the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous. 29But as for me — poor and in pain — let your salvation protect me, God.
