Context of Psalms 69:25
23Let their eyes be in the dark so that they cannot see. Let their bodies become weak. 24Yes, punish them, because you are so angry with them! Let their homes become empty, so that nobody lives in them any more. 26Do this, because they chase after the people that you have already punished. They talk about the pain of the people that you have hurt. 27Make a note of all their sins. Do not ever forgive them, so that they are righteous.
