Context of Psalms 69:27
25Let 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. Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them not come into Your righteousness. 28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous. 29But I am poor and sorrowful; Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
