Context of Psalms 69:27
25Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents. 26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded, Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 28Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous. 29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
