Context of Psalms 69:25

23Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and make their bodies shake continually. 24Pour out your fury on them; consume them with your burning anger. Let their homes become desolate and their tents be deserted. 26To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury; they add to the pain of those you have hurt. 27Pile their sins up high, and don’t let them go free.
