Context of Psalms 69:27
25May their camp become desolate, their tents uninhabited! 26For they harass the one whom you discipline; they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish. Hold them accountable for all their sins! Do not vindicate them! 28May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! Do not let their names be listed with the godly! 29I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me!
