Context of Psalms 69:25
23Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see. Let their thighs continually shake. 24Pour your rage on them. Let your burning anger catch up with them. Let their camp be deserted and their tents empty. 26They persecute the one you have struck, and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded. 27Charge them with one crime after another. Do not let them be found innocent.
