Context of Psalms 69:25
23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; And make their loins shake continually. 24Pour out Your indignation upon them, And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their dwelling place be desolate; Let no one live in their tents. 26For they persecute the ones You have struck, And talk of the grief of those You have wounded. 27Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them not come into Your righteousness.
